    Report summary

    Emma Irene Turner died at home on 29 January 2023 after her airway became obstructed by vomit following her eating some cake. The report identified concerns about inadequate and untimely multi-agency processes, safeguarding referrals, face-to-face assessments and welfare checks, as well as poor information sharing between services. It also identified a risk that the safeguarding referral form used by GPs could omit key information and delay responses.

    Insufficient support and assistance for carers in understanding a person's best interests

    Wider context from the report

    “It is clear that her family cared and supported her but at the inquest the evidence exposed important issues with information sharing between services. Her mother, her carer should have been given more support and assisted in understanding what was in Emma’s best interests. The evidence at the inquest revealed a lack of connectivity between information systems used by different agencies; that impacted on their ability to review how other professionals would intervene in Emma's care. There had been a history of non-attendance and reluctance on the part of family members to engage with services. As a result, safeguarding referrals were made in 2018 by the Day Centre she had attended and in 2019 by a social worker after her discussions with the advanced nurse practitioner at the GP surgery. Although the evidence from the GP surgery, Derby City Council and their safeguarding team confirm that since Emma's death a number of relevant changes were being made to look after patients with learning difficulties particularly where they have not been brought to multiple appointments, in so far as the contents of the present safeguarding referral form which needs to be completed by a GP for vulnerable and learning difficulties adults, that present form is not tailored to the type of concerns that a GP would raise. The safeguarding template questions ask a variety of questions that are not relevant to a GP but to other agencies e.g. care homes, the police and community mental health teams. As a result there is a risk of there being a lack of key information provided to the safeguarding teams. Thus the safeguarding team may be delayed in responding in a timely way. ”

    Report summary

    Maureen Gilbert, who was 83 years old, drowned in her home on 21 October 2023 after flood waters entered her property during Storm Babet. The report raises concern that the absence of flood defences at Tapton Terrace leaves residents, particularly those who may be elderly, vulnerable or immobile, at risk of life.

    Lack of flood defences at Tapton Terrace

    Wider context from the report

    “Following the flood damage to Tapton Terrace in 2007, the Environment Agency’s pre-feasibility study identified a number of technically feasible options that would reduce the flood risk at Tapton Terrace. None of these measures were implemented principally due to cost reasons. When Storm Babet hit in October 2023, Tapton Terrace remained in the same position that it was in back in 2007. Due to the ongoing lack of flood defences, Tapton Terrace remains vulnerable to flooding. I am concerned that this gives rise to a risk to life, particularly in respect of residents who may be elderly, vulnerable or immobile. ”

    Explore the feasibility of constructing a Spital Brook Flood Alleviation Scheme providing upstream attenuation during heavy rainfall.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “DCC is also exploring the feasibility of constructing a Flood Alleviation Scheme on the Spital Brook, which is an ordinary watercourse (rather than a main river) and would therefore fall under the remit of DCC as the Lead Local Flood Authority to consider, rather than the EA. The scheme would provide upstream attenuation in times of heavy rainfall, thereby potentially reducing the flood risk further downstream, at the point it connects into the River Rother. To date, two grant funding bids have been submitted which would fund the feasibility study of such a scheme. The outcome of these two bids is expected to be around February/March 2026. It’s worth noting that a scheme of this magnitude would take approximately 5 to 10 years to deliver and is subject to appropriate funding being made available.”

    Explore the feasibility of removing the access bridge, using Environment Agency modelling and evidence to assess whether removal would reduce flood risk.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “DCC is currently exploring the feasibility of removing an access bridge, which is located over the River Rother, just to the south of Tapton Terrace. The access bridge is public highway and is the responsibility of the authority to manage and maintain. Removal of the access bridge may provide a benefit in terms of reducing the flood risk to Tapton Terrace and surrounding flood areas. There would be a requirement to utilise the EA’s modelling and expertise, in order to evidence that removal of the bridge will actually reduce the flood risk. To explain what modelling is, the EA have river models which simulate the flows and depths over a range of different storm events, which can be used to aid feasibility and design of a flood risk scheme.”

    This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

    Report summary

    Matthew James Scott died on 11 March 2023 after losing control of his vehicle on Station Road, Melbourne, when it hit a lengthy defective and subsided section of road filled with ice. The report identifies concerns that the road defect had not been surveyed or addressed by the date of the inquest, despite concerns raised by police and the highways authority.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to survey and act on reported road defects

    Wider context from the report

    “At 6 weeks post Mr Scott's death - on the 28th of April 2023 - a discussion took place between collision investigator officers, a traffic management officer (all of Derbyshire police) with the Project Engineer of the Highways Authority of Derbyshire County Council. The officers raised their concerns that at the place where Mr Scott lost control of his vehicle (Station Road, Melbourne Derbyshire) there was a lengthy, defective and subsided stretch of road. Further that at the time of Mr Scott's death the subsided section of road was some 4 metres in width, 37 metres in length and 5 cms in depth. Further, that it was deep enough to have had standing water in it which at the time of Mr Scott's death had turned to ice. Ice in the said defect would likely cause a vehicle to lose grip on the road surface. At that section of road, the road starts to bend to the right such that losing control on the ice could cause a vehicle to veer to the offside of the road, either into the path of an oncoming vehicle, into the opposite field or as in Mr Scott’s case, a tree. The Project Engineer of the Highways Authority discussed his concerns and the concerns that had been raised by the police, with the highway maintenance department in early May 2023. As at the date of the inquest into Mr Scott' death (22 April 2024) this stretch of road had not been surveyed, no consideration had been given to the concerns of the police and no decisions taken to repair the defect so as to prevent any further accidents. ”

    The reported 37-metre-wide road defect was ice formation, not an actionable safety defect; pooled water was limited and typical.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “The site report states as follows “Large patch of ice on the road surface measuring 4 metres in diameter and 37 meters in length. Commencing in the centre of the carriageway, 4 meters prior to the entrance of the Melbourne Hotel, and terminating in the south-east bound lane. The area predominantly covered the south-east bound lane. It must be noted that this had reduced in size during my attendance due to weather conditions”. This does not say that there was a defect in the road but ice formation. There were some minor differences in level within the carriageway which allowed water to stand, such minor differences in level would be typical of an evolved road network in similar settings such as this and other areas of road across the county.”

    This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

    Report summary

    Mark Sumnall died in hospital on the morning of 21 December 2020 after choking and aspirating on a sandwich given by hospital staff. He had a recognised choking risk, but hospital staff were not aware of it despite his care plan being sent with him in a Red Bag. The report raised concerns about failures to identify and use the Red Bag and to transfer relevant care and risk information between the care home, ambulance service and hospital.

    Failure to check Red Bag contents for relevant information

    Wider context from the report

    “The Derbyshire wide Red Bag scheme is an initiative designed to ensure that when care home residents are admitted to hospital, key health and social care information travels with them by way of documentation such as care plans (as well as medication and essential personal items). I understand that the County Council and the CCG are the primary agencies responsible for the scheme. On the evidence considered at Mr Sumnall's inquest: - 1. The scheme does not appear to be widely used in Derbyshire, although the scheme was in response to NICE guidance for improving patient care and safety when transferring between health and care settings (NG27: Transition between inpatient hospital setting and community or care homes). The inquest heard that Mr Sumnall’s care home only had one bag for use on the premises, and that ambulance and hospital staff did not routinely deal with admissions where care home patients were sent with Red Bags. 2. The Red Bag travelled with Mr Sumnall and was found with his clothes when he died. Despite being with him there is no evidence that anyone looked in the bag to check for relevant information. This being the case it appears to me that there is lack of awareness of how the bag should be used, but also, as no enquiries were separately made for care plan and other relevant documentation, that the thrust of the NICE guidance for improving patient care and safety is not being addressed systematically between agencies. ”

    Review the urgent-transfer information standard and liaise with digital-transformation leads to expedite an integrated care system digital-standards initiative.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “5. Review the Urgent transfer from care home to hospital information standard and link with the local NHS and Local Authority digital transformation leads to expedite an Integrated Care System-wide initiative to implement the new digital standards. This would enable care homes to digitise and transfer individuals’ records electronically to hospital containing all relevant information. The timeframe for the discussion with local NHS and Local Authority digital transformation leads is the end of August 2022. By March 2024, 80% of adult social care providers registered with the Care Quality Commission will have digital social care records, with progress well underway for the remaining 20% by that date.”

    Railway track with multiple easy access points near a popular beauty spot increasing suicide risk

    Wider context from the report

    “Evidence was heard regarding the section of track adjacent to the Attenborough Nature Reserve. I noted the following issues of concern in relation to this section of track:- (1) There are a number of pedestrian crossings along this short stretch of track which involve pedestrians having to walk on the tracks to cross to the other side. (2) There has been a high number of fatalities along this short section of track (seven in as many years). (3) The nature of that section of track is such that it increases the risks of completed suicide due to the ease of access at multiple points and its proximity to a very popular beauty spot. (4) Efforts by Network Rail to reduce / rationalise the number of crossings along that stretch have failed due, in part, to opposition from the relevant local authorities. (5) Support or opposition from local authorities and councils will respectively increase or reduce the prospects of the risks inherent in that stretch of track being reduced. In the absence of support from local authorities and councils, Network Rail will be less likely to make an application to close or rationalise crossings along this section of track, given the known opposition from some persons living near, or using, the crossings. If an application is made, it will be less likely to be granted in the absence of support from the relevant local authorities and councils. ”

    Mr Thomas Andrew Reid, aged 27, died at the roadside from injuries sustained in a road traffic collision on 21 September 2018 while riding his motorbike along the A515 near Sudbury in Ashbourne. The collision occurred as he overtook queued traffic and collided with a tractor turning right into the B5033.

I heard evidence that key information relating to patients and in particular mental health patients can be updated on to the Special Patient Note facility and the Right Care Plan facility by GPs and used to record risk relapse triggers and indicators for patient’s with mental health difficulties and risk of suicide/ self harm. This enables Out of Hours Services such as those operated by Derbyshire HealthCare United to access key risk information when they are called out of hours when the GP and the full GP records with this key information is not available. There appears to be action that can be taken by NHS England through the Clinical Commissioning Groups to educate GPs as to this facility. ”

    Failure to ensure shared understanding of care co-ordinator roles and Care Programme Approach responsibilities

    Wider context from the report

    “1. The CMHT from the evidence I heard did not understand that the DCC Recovery Team is not following the Care Programme approach, neither are lead professionals from the DCC Recovery Team acting as care co-ordinators for the purposes of the Care Programme Approach [CPA]. I heard evidence that the Psychiatrist from the CMHT understood that the social worker from the DCC Recovery Team was Louise Henry’s Care coordinator for CPA purposes and was following the Care Programme Approach. I also heard evidence that when the services of the DCC Recovery Team and CMHT ceased to be an Integrated service the understanding of the psychiatrist had been that the DCC Recovery Team workers would be following the CPA. I heard evidence from DCC Recovery Team that this was not the case and that they were not following the CPA or acting as the care co-ordinator for the purposes of CPA but instead worked to the Self Directed Support framework. It is important that the CMHT understand the roles and responsibilities of the Lead professional from the DCC Recovery Team and that they are not following the Care Programme approach or acting as the care co-ordinator. It is of concern that workers from the CMHT and DCC Recovery Team who often are involved in providing multi agency mental health services and joint working to patients misunderstand each others roles, responsibilities and processes. The care co-ordinator is a key role in the management of a patient with mental health difficulties and it is important that there is no ambiguity in respect of who is acting in this capacity. ”

    Report summary

    Steven Curtis fell from a telescopic ladder while inspecting a roof and was admitted to hospital, where he underwent treatment before complications and subsequent death. The principal concern was the safety and origin of the ladder, including whether it was one of approximately 43,000 N19KJ ladders sold by Maplin before withdrawal and whether further investigation could establish its source.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Safety hazard posed by Maplin N19KJ telescopic ladders

    Wider context from the report

    “I said at the Inquest that I would adopt a two-stage approach. Firstly, that I would write to Derbyshire Trading Standards in view of the existing investigation concerning the Maplin N19KJ telescopic ladder. I refer to the letter from Graham Morgan dated 1 June 2015 and the Investigation Report. I see that there was a primary offence in relation to the safety of the ladder and two ancillary offences which led to a caution. The ladders were withdrawn from sale by Maplin. However, I understand that Maplin sold approximately 43,000 of the ladders in the UK before withdrawal. The matter of concern is in relation to the safety of these ladders if it transpires that the accident ladder was supplied by Maplin. To be fair to Maplin, it appears on the existing evidence that there are no other reported cases of catastrophic failures such as this with the N19KJ ladder. ”
