TW for suicide and sexual abuse
Ellie’s family said: “We are devastated by Ellie’s death and the failures in her care at Antelope House. We were not given the opportunity to feed into Ellie’s care and were instead left to watch her rapid decline. The Ellie who took her own life was not the Ellie we knew. Although we accept procedural changes have been made following Ellie’s death, we do not believe these changes address the fundamental deficiency in Ellie’s care. We do not feel confident that should another patient like Ellie be under Southern Health’s care, anything would be done differently. We are grateful to the coroner for completing a Prevention of Future Death Report and hope that it will force the Trust to take the matters highlighted in Ellie’s inquest seriously.”
