Alice Figueiredo, 22, died in 2015 after 18 similar attempts to self-harm on the Hepworth ward at Goodmayes hospital
A woman whose daughter killed herself on a “death trap” mental health ward in London has called for urgent change after an NHS trust was fined more than half a million pounds.
Alice Figueiredo, 22, took her own life at Goodmayes hospital, Redbridge, after 18 similar attempts.
Her death on 7 July 2015 followed a failure to remove plastic items from the communal toilets on Hepworth ward that had been used by her to self-harm, a court was told.
On Tuesday, North East London NHS foundation trust (NELFT) was fined £565,000 plus £200,000 in costs after being found guilty of breaching health and safety.
