A MENTAL health worker described a woman as a ?waste of space? in a foul mouthed outburst just hours before the woman took her own life, an inquest heard.

Hannah Groves wanted treatment at a specialist mental health unit in Southampton after saying she wanted to kill herself but she was told there was no space.

She had been arrested by police under the Mental Health Act but was sent home after staff from Antelope House decided not to assess her.

The inquest was told how a mental health team worker had told the police detention officer that he knew Hannah and described her as a ?f***ing waste of space? and a ?time waster?.
