Allison Vivian Jacome Aules · 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

Allison Aules was referred to a child and adolescent mental health service in May 2021 following concerns including self-harm, low mood and anxiety, but her referral was delayed and the eventual assessment was incomplete. She was discharged without a documented risk management plan, and was found suspended in her bedroom on 18 July 2022; the investigation states that she died on 19 July 2022 as a result of suicide, contributed to by neglect. The principal concerns were failings in care and the under-resourcing of CAMHS services, including delays in assessment and concern that continuing under-resourcing amid rising demand could result in similar deaths.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Under-resourcing of CAMHS services
Wider context from the report
“The Inquest identified multiple failings in the care provided to Allison. The failings occurred within a children and adolescent mental health service which was significantly under resourced. The Inquest heard evidence that the under resourcing of CAMHS services is not confined to this local Trust but is a matter of National concern. The under resourcing of CAMHS services contributed to delays in Allison being assessed by the mental health team. The delay between triage to assessment was 9 months. The Inquest heard evidence that this delay is not unusual within CAMHS teams across the country. There was very little evidence of any consultant psychiatrist leadership within the CAMHS team. The Inquest heard of the difficulties in recruiting suitably qualified psychiatrists to CAMHS teams. The Inquest heard that funding for CAMHS teams within the allocation of funding for general mental health is poor. The Inquest heard that the number of children presenting to CAMHS teams is increasing significantly. The number of referrals of children to the local CAMHS team in the early 2010s was between 10 – 12 per week. The current number of referrals is in the region of 140 patients per week. There is a concern that ongoing under resourcing of CAMHS services (whilst demand continues to increase), will result in future similar deaths. ”

Conrad Richard James Colson · 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

Conrad Colson, who had severe body dysmorphic disorder and a previous serious suicide attempt, was found deceased at home on 2 March 2022 after friends became concerned for his welfare. The inquest concluded that he took his own life while accessing aesthetic dermatology treatment, without therapeutic medication or professional mental health support, and after discharge without a robust risk assessment or relapse risk-management plan. Concerns included insufficient liaison and information sharing between mental health services, inadequate consideration of risks associated with aesthetic dermatology treatment, and training and resource gaps relating to body dysmorphic disorder.

“2. Both mental health services were aware that Conrad was accessing aesthetic dermatology treatment. There was a concern that neither service adequately highlighted the risks of accessing such treatment to Conrad or attempted to share information with the skin clinic. The inquest heard that patients with BDD should be fully informed of the risks of seeking aesthetic dermatology treatment and wherever possible, clinics who are providing treatment should be made aware of the BDD diagnosis. ”

Wider context from the report
“4. The inquest heard that there is a lack of national resources for BDD. The highly specialised service at South London and Maudsley has a very long waiting list (several months). This is on a background of concerns of a likely increase in BDD. In light of this concern, I am also providing this report to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, to the Department for Health & Social Care and to NHSE. ”

Lack of adequate numbers of suitably trained CAMHS staff
Wider context from the report
“The Inquest heard that CAMHS services nationally have a lack of adequate staffing levels in the form of doctors, in the form of psychiatrists, registered mental health nurses and psychotherapy staff. The Inquest heard that consultants often have an average of 130 to 150 active cases on their caseloads. This is substantially higher than the recommended caseloads by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The lack of staffing and resources contributed to Lily’s death and there is a concern that the ongoing shortages of suitably trained staff within CAMHS teams poses a risk of future deaths of young people. ”
