87% Informative

A public inquiry backed by the government will focus on deaths in Essex as a starting point.

The Lampard Inquiry is the first public inquiry specifically looking into mental health deaths.

It will aim to understand what happened to patients who died at children and adult inpatient units, under the care of the NHS in Essex , between the years 2000 and 2023 .

Essex has seen repeated failures over 20 years and what has happened in the county could be an indication of what is going on elsewhere.

The inquiry will hear opening statements by chair Baroness Lampard from 9 September .

Ten organisations and 56 relatives, patients and staff will give evidence in person.

The date for a final report is unknown, but it could be a few years .

The hearings will take place at the Civic Centre in Chelmsford and be streamed online.
