Closed Petition closed 6th November 2019

I request a full public inquiry into death of my son, Matthew Leahy. (20 yrs.) - Final Signatures: 105,580

Matthew was taken to, ‘a place of safety’, and died 7 days later.
24 others died by the same means, dating back to the year 2000. An indicator that little was done to address the growing problems.
Something went terribly wrong with the NHS Mental Health Services provided to my son.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 30th November 2020

The Government responsed to this petition on 2nd August 2019 (View Full Response)
The Government sincerely regrets Matthew’s death. NHS Improvement will review the care that he and others received and will provide advice in due course on whether a public inquiry should be held.

Found: There really is no way that public concern can be allayed, short of an Inquiry.
