Ms Morris wants to see real change in the way mental health inpatients are looked after.
At the top of her list are “good, safe hospitals with staff that care”.
For her friend Melanie, it boils down to one word: “Accountability.”
Ahead of the inquiry, EPUT’s chief Mr Scott said his thoughts were with those who had lost loved ones.
“We will continue to do all we can to support Baroness Lampard and her team to provide the answers that patients, families and carers are seeking,” he said.
The North East London Foundation Trust (NELFT), which provides child and adolescent mental health services in parts of Essex and will also be examined in the inquiry, said: “We will continue to work with the inquiry to help families understand the circumstances surrounding the loss of their loved ones.
“Patient safety is our absolute priority and we are committed to learning from the work of the inquiry.”
