Grandmother killed herself after 'failures at every level'

[Northerner]

A grandmother killed herself after she was forced to leave a care home because of NHS cost-cutting.
An inquest found there were 'failures at every level' in the care of Sheila McInulty, 65, who died from a lethal overdose of prescription medication in February 2011 after managers ignored the advice of psychiatrists and removed her from the Mountview recovery unit in Northwood.
Ms McInulty, of Edgware, west London, was suffering with a mental health condition and had repeatedly attempted suicide, the Harrow Times reported.

Absolutly disgusting and abhorrent what happened to this poor lady

Dreadful story brought back some sad memories. My dad was in a care home for respite care as he lived on his own and couldn't take care of himself properly. Before he left the home he pleaded with them to let him stay as he knew he couldn't cope on his own. Thy refused him point blank and less than a month later my dad was dead in really horrific circumstances.
