The Lampard Inquiry into 2,000 mental health deaths across Essex has now adjourned until November.
The chair of an inquiry into more than 2,000 mental health-related deaths in Essex has praised the "courage and candour" of victims’ families.
“I really appreciate the courage and effort it will have taken together up precious memories, both happy and the more distressing ones, and to share them in such a public forum.” Some common threads were talked about: people whose additional needs like autism, were not properly considered, families worried that medication seemed to be the only answer, those discharged from mental health units without support in the community, safety risks in wards and the exclusion of families from their loved one’s care.
"Ben truly was one in a million," his mother told the inquiry, adding: "My life will never be the same without him in it."
