    Report summary

    Mr Patrick Viles died after taking an intentional overdose of medication at home, in the context of suicidal ideation and previous overdosing. The report raises concern that medication was prescribed after a psychologist had identified significant concerns about his mental health and the need for urgent psychiatric input. It could not be determined at the inquest where the medication used in the overdose had been obtained.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Prescribing medication despite significant mental health concerns

    Wider context from the report

    “You did note that you had referred Mr Viles to a psychologist, who consulted with him on 19/6/24 and raised concerns regarding the need for urgent psychiatric input, given his suicidal ideation. You also noted that you reviewed him after the psychologist’s input and concluded that he was not suitable for spinal cord stimulation. At the inquest it could not be determined from where Mr Viles had obtained the medication on which he overdosed. I therefore wrote a letter of concern to you, asking if you had prescribed medication (as had been suggested by the mental health trust’s evidence). You replied on 13/6/25, setting out that you had prescribed four weeks’ worth of ████████ on 28/6/24 (nine days after the psychologist’s consultation). I am concerned that you prescribed this medication after the psychologist you had referred Mr Viles to had raised significant concerns regarding his mental health. ”
