We write as the mothers of two 20 year old boys who died under the so called care of NEPFT . Ben Morris who died 28 Dec 2008 and Matthew Leahy who died 15 nov 2012 at the Linden Centre Chelmsford. Matthews inquest took two years to come to fruition , which resulted in the coroner recommending a public enquiry into matts death under NEPFT. The trust refused to hold one , even after we had raised £40000 to fund it. We received written confirmation from the North Essex partnership trust, MP Priti Patel, and the cqc back in January 2015 that all recommendations made after Matthews death had been actioned. Feb 2015 John beecroft died and then the cqc bothered to go into the linden centre to inspect. Surprise ,surprise , recommendations had not been made and another patient had died because of this. Then follows iris Scott 73. And Richard Wade 30. Just this week I received a letter from NHS Improvement informing me they were also told in Jan 2015 all recommendations had been actioned. I then find out that had recommendations been actioned after the death of Denise Gregory in 2004….Ben Morris 20 who died in 2008 and all the others afore mentioned might still be alive . Now the trust is quoted in the chronicle that still in 2016,,,, not all the recommendations have been actioned…yet!!!!! We are outraged…….how long will this take!!!! NEPFT were given a time frame to fix whatever was highlighted in a previous cqc report and didn't do it…that's why monitor stepped in with a warning. The CEO Andrew Geldard has resigned. The director of nursing Paul Kedwell has resigned. The top operations manager Nashud Nojeeb ,was sacked. And ultimately monitor has now published that the governance of the trust is failing. The Trust is now pushing for a merger with South Essex partnership trust…. There's no evidence that this will be good for patients and it seems as this is a ploy for both trusts who have failed patients to date…to dissolve both trusts….start a new one with a clean sheet and a fresh start. Another attempt at a cover up. Where's the evidence it will make services better??? Both trusts have work to do with their own services. Two wrongs do not make a right. People of Essex need to know that services are at risk of further disruption if this merger is allowed to happen. The Trust have no legal requirement to consult with the public….they will continue to forge ahead. The trust keep saying it's all about funding…where's the evidence?? Money is not the reason for this merger…..incompetence is. We have a petition running to present to monitor, North Essex clinical commissioning group and the mergers group. People of Essex need to know what the trusts are planning. This affects so many people. Please go to ‘Justice for Matt and Ben Facebook page ‘ to sign up. We are appalled that a board of senior directors, been paid out of public funds have not been held accountable for not keeping services safe for vulnerable people and we will continue to push for improvement to patient safety.
