    How this individual concern was interpreted

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

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of internal investigations to verify relevant witness information and clinical address records

    Wider context from the report

    “1. Internal investigation: The internal investigation did not address how and whether the offender’s use of medication should have been monitored after the clinic visit on 12/05/23. This was important as non compliance with medication was a risk factor for relapse. In addition, during the inquest the trust confirmed they had not spoken to the CPN who attempted to visit the offender on 24/05/23 to verify whether they had attended the old or new address. This was a critical issue as the new address had not been updated on the clinical notes. This raises a concern about the quality of the investigation and whether the Trust is adequately learning from incidents. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Insufficient interagency information sharing with landlords

    Wider context from the report

    “3. Information sharing between agencies and support worker training: The inquest heard evidence that Landlords have to rely on the information given to them by the residents and do not have access to other key information held by other agencies. This means the landlord is often not aware of key information about an individual. Given the potential for harm for residents and support workers consideration needs to be given to how best to share information to ensure residents are receiving the right care and landlords have sufficient information to be able to monitor residents and undertake risk assessments. The inquest heard evidence that support workers need more focussed training on mental health conditions and how to manage and help residents with enduring mental health conditions. ”

    Failure of internal investigations to examine medication monitoring

    Barriers to accurate Mental Health Act section assessments

    Wider context from the report

    “2. Mental Health assessments: The inquest heard evidence that there were barriers to the use of S2 and S3 of the Mental health Act due to AMPH resistance, administrative challenges and resourcing. This raises a concern that incorrect MHA assessments are taking place and patients may be detained on an inappropriate section impacting patient care. A copy of a report prepared by ████████ is attached. ”
