Essex Mental Health Independent Inquiry

The Inquiry will examine records, gather evidence and speak to witnesses to determine whether there were any failings in care, safety or professional standards.

It will consider the factors which led to the deaths of individual patients, the culture within the Trusts to implement recommendations to reduce deaths and the quality of any previous investigations which have taken place.

The Inquiry will make recommendations to improve patient services and reduce deaths, within NHS Trusts and across the wider NHS.
