Wider context from the report

“1. The inquest heard that Cady Stewart’s mother had died a few months before from terminal cancer. Whilst her mother was on palliative care she had been prescribed a significant amount of opiate drugs. After her death the medication was not removed by the nursing team and remained in Cady Stewart’s possession. It remained in her possession even though she attempted to take her life immediately after her mother’s death. She used that in combination with medication prescribed to her to take her life. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Failure to secure and control medication; Inadequate control of access to means of self-harm.
