SERIOUS questions are being asked of a hospital trust that inquests have found failed patients under their care, two of which took their own life. Recent inquests into the death of Lauren Braithwaite, 27, who took her own life in March 2020 and Emma Beth Goulding, 24, who died in April 2020 after attempting to hang herself. Both were treated for mental health issues by the Dova Unit based at Dane Garth at Furness General Hospital, and both were deemed to have been failed by the mental health unit. Both families raised their concerns about their care during the inquests, and Miss Goulding’s father, James, had expressed his belief that ‘neglect’ brought about his daughter’s death. Coroner Ms Kirsty Gomersal concluded this was not the case but stressed that neglect had a very specific meaning in a coroner’s court and was a rare finding for a coroner to make.
