A DANGEROUSLY diabetic teenager who died in Herefordshire Council?s care just two months after being made homeless was ?let down? by the agencies working with him, a case review out today (Wed) confirms.
The review concludes that the 17-year-old ? identified only as HH ? died at a supported housing unit in May last year because he did not take medication for his condition and was not ?adequately supported? in his treatment by his mother or his corporate parents.
Professionals did not work together ?sufficiently well? to ensure the complex health and social needs of HH were ?adequately and consistently? met and were even ?confused? as to whether or not HH could be classed as a child.
