26 Dec
Summary
- A coroner questioned an NHS trust regarding drug withdrawal.
- The man's death was ruled a suicide following an inquest.
- An "inadequate follow-up" after medication cessation was noted.
A coroner has raised serious questions regarding the Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust's handling of antipsychotic medication for a man who died by suicide.
Following an inquest concluded in December 2024, Coroner Nicola Mundy issued a Prevention of Future Deaths report. The report details concerns about the "abrupt" withdrawal of Olanzapine and the subsequent "inadequate follow-up" provided to Jason Ricardo White.
The trust has been given a deadline of February 13, 2025, to formally respond to the coroner's findings. An individual, whose identity was redacted in the report, also faces the same response deadline.
