    Liam Stephen Allan · Prevention of Future Deaths report

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

    Report summary

    Liam Stephen Allan was arrested alongside the River Thames on the evening of 26 August 2022, entered the river, and drowned. The report identified concerns about inadequate lighting and visibility of riverside buoyancy aids, and about delays in alerting the London Fire Brigade because notification was made by telephone rather than through the faster CAD-mediated system.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Delays in police alerting of the LFB and subsequent emergency response

    Wider context from the report

    “The process for alerting the LFB by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) uses a telephone to transmit information from the MPS to the LFB, rather than using a CAD-mediated system to transfer information electronically from the Police to the LFB which is faster than transmitting information by telephone. This delay means that there is a risk that future deaths could occur due to a delay in the LFB being alerted by the Police and a corresponding delay to the LFB's subsequent response to an emergency incident. ”

    Inadequate visibility of riverside buoyancy aids

    Wider context from the report

    “The lighting of buoyancy aids on the riverside is not adequate, meaning that they are not able to be identified rapidly and then deployed without delay in an emergency situation. Buoyancy aids are more visible when painted with white stripes and/or reflective white stripes. However, not all buoyancy aids are so painted, meaning that they are not able to be identified rapidly and then deployed without delay in an emergency situation. ”

    Failure to make accurate referrals to the District Nursing team

    “(1) The referral to the District Nursing team was incorrect in that it wrongly referred to Mrs Suleyman having a sacral DTI on discharge. This led the District Nursing team to believe that she was already on the caseload of the community TVN team. This resulted in a delay in her being assessed by them. ”

Whilst I heard that scrutiny of the discharge passport had improved at ward level, deficient discharge passports were still filtering through to the D2A team. ”

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) The adverse effects of air pollution on health are not being sufficiently communicated to patients and their carers by medical and nursing professionals. The evidence at the inquest was that this needs to be addressed at three levels: a. Undergraduate. I am informed that undergraduate teaching is the responsibility of the GMC, Health Education England and the NMC. b. Postgraduate. I am informed that postgraduate education is the responsibility of the Royal Colleges, in this case the Royal College of Physicians, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, the Royal College of General Practitioners, and the NMC. c.

    “(2) There is a low public awareness of the sources of information (such as UK-Air website) about national and local pollution levels. Greater awareness would help individuals reduce their personal exposure to air pollution. It was clear from the evidence at the inquest that publicising this information is an issue that needs to be addressed by national as well as local government. The information must be sufficiently detailed and this is likely to require enlargement of the capacity to monitor air quality, for example by increasing the number of air quality sensors. ”

    Install up to 75 additional diffusion-tube and PM₂.₅ monitors by October 2021.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “in the process of adding several new monitors to monitor PM₂.₅, particularly in areas of high traffic. Due to technological advances, the measurement of PM₂.₅ no longer requires a large automatic monitoring station and more flexible monitors can now be placed around the Borough. These will feed into a London wide network of sensors providing greater data and coverage and will help to contribute to improved public awareness of air pollution levels across the capital. We are also in the process of adding yet more diffusion tubes, with up to another 75 monitors in total (both diffusion tubes and the new PM₂.₅ monitors) planned for installation by October this year.”

The most significant addition shortly after Ella’s death was the creation of the Honor Oak Park ‘supersite’ automatic monitoring station which opened on 1 January 2019 and which monitors PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅. Further, by the end of 2020 the number of diffusion tube sites more than doubled to 106. Since the Inquest, capacity has grown even further and we are introducing important new technology as we are”

    Implement a multimedia communications plan promoting air-quality monitoring tools through social media, advertising, websites and the residents’ newsletter.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “• Raising awareness: As the London Borough of Lewisham highlighted during the Inquest, the raising of awareness of air quality issues has improved significantly since Ella’s death. This is partly as a result of the transfer of the public health functions from the NHS to the Borough in April 2013, which led to a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Air Quality in 2018, which will be refreshed again in 2022 (and which has a target audience of those who commission, provide or use health, social or children’s services in Lewisham). It has also improved due to technology and social media, so that the London Borough of Lewisham is able to promote airTEXT, the Imperial College London Air webpage, the GLA air quality web page/alerts, and even its own air quality App. However, there is more work that can and will be done.”

    Report summary

    Omarian Brooks, a severely disabled boy, deteriorated after being given antibiotics by his parents and died en route to hospital on 27 May, without having had a GP visit. Concerns included the GP apparently being unaware of his deterioration, the absence of a protocol for managing it, and the lack of a patient-specific emergency care protocol. The report states that earlier GP awareness might have led to hospital admission with a real prospect of successfully treating the infection.

    Failure of the MARAC process to provide coordinated protection and support for chaotic non-engaging individuals

    Wider context from the report

    “3. The MARAC process was incapable of facilitating protection and resolution of problems for chaotic non engaging individuals. Lengthy evidence was heard from the independent chair of the Domestic Homicide Review, who had conducted 23 such reviews. She said that the MARAC system can be good depending on the priority given by each organization. In this case agencies should have worked together to address risks in the context of her life environment and network. Instead her needs were compartmentalised. Her evidence was clear that no MARAC can deliver the needs of chaotic non engaging individuals. She reported that there were arguments for MARAC and other bodies to be put on a statutory footing. Clearly there is an urgent need for national review how the system can afford protection and support for these particularly vulnerable complex individuals or whether changes need to be made to it. ”

As no action has been taken the Council is arranging for the foliage to be cut back. The work is expected to be completed by the end of February 2019.”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Reconstruct speed cushions near the two pedestrian refuge crossing points adjacent to Mayow Park.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Response - The speed cushions in Mayow Road have been in place for a number of years and may be less effective due to long term wear. Financial constraints generally mean that widespread renewal of worn traffic calming features is not feasible. However it is proposed to reconstruct the speed cushions in close proximity of the two pedestrian refuge crossing points adjacent to Mayow Park to ensure that they are as effective as possible. This work is programmed to be completed by the end of April 2019.”

    Report summary

    Daphne McCorkle was discharged from hospital with a Grade 2 pressure sore, which deteriorated while she was receiving community care. She died in hospital on 20 November 2014 from sepsis caused by the infected pressure sore. Concerns included the frequency and quality of District Nurse visits and assessments, inadequate care-plan reviews and documentation, delayed referral to a Tissue Viability Nurse, lack of advice about night-time turning, and a gap in night-time care provision.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to London Borough of Lewisham; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of nighttime care provision for patients requiring regular turning

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) On the expert evidence, there will be cases where a patient should be turned every 2/3 hours, even at night, to ensure that the risk of pressure sores being caused or worsened is properly managed. (2) In some cases where this level of turning is required, family members will not be able to perform that task. (3) However I was informed during the inquest that Lewisham District Nurses (for whom I understand the NHS Lewisham Clinical Commissioning Group is responsible) will not visit patients at home at night. (4) I was also informed that agency carers (whose care I understand is commissioned by the London Borough of Lewisham, Adult Social Care Department) will not visit at night either. (5) This leaves a gap in provision for some patients and is a concern. ”
