Matthew Caseby escaped from the hospital treating him in Birmingham and was later hit by a train.
Matthew Caseby, who was a patient at Birmingham's Priory Hospital Woodbourne, left the hospital by climbing over a fence in the courtyardA care provider has been fined £650,000 for a safety failing after a patient escaped from a mental health unit and was hit by a train.
Matthew’s father, Richard, told the court his son died needlessly and the company had tried to “evade accountability for its gross failures.”He had been detained at the hospital under the Mental Health Act after being seen running on railway tracks north of Oxford five days before his death. Mr Caseby was escorted outside and supervised initially but would then not return inside and his nurse went to get help, the court heard.
It centred on the firm not adequately assessing the risk, amounting to a failure to provide safe treatment.
