Case (Suicide of detained patient). Saranveer Sihota: Chesterfield Borough Council (PFD report, 23 October 2025)

— The patient had left the Hartington mental health unit at the Callow site in Chesterfield without permission or staff knowledge, and took a taxi to a local building with a wall which was low internally but had a 70ft drop externally. The matters of concern included that "there appears to be a clear risk that, either deliberately or accidentally, people might fall to the ground with high chance of death", a list of previous incidents involving others, and that it "may reasonably be considered that others with thoughts of suicide may similarly consider that location".
