    Report summary

    Mollie Rose Stansfield, aged 22, died on 10 July 2019 after falling at Princes Quay, Hull, following her discharge from a place of safety under section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983. The report identified failures at Hull Royal Infirmary to understand and correctly implement section 5(2) of the Mental Health Act 1983, with the relevant paperwork being invalid while Mollie was apparently subject to that section and subsequently absconded.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to understand the implementation, significance and effect of Section 5(2) doctors holding power

    Wider context from the report

    “There was a failure at Hull Royal Infirmary to understand the process of implementing Section 5(2) of the Mental Health act 1983 [MHA] (Doctors Holding Power) as well as general uncertainty about its significance and effect. Mollie absconded from the ward whilst apparently under this section. The paperwork for the implementation of this section of the MHA 1983 was in fact not properly completed and hence invalid. Whilst the Hull & East Yorkshire NHS Trust has taken steps to educate doctors about this power, these were only local measures and I believe that all doctors working in England and Wales should be aware of section 5(2) and nurses of their equivalent power pursuant to section 5(4) of the MHA 1983 and that appropriate awareness and training should be given. ”
