Brendan Brown, Chief Executive, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Our sincere condolences go out to Myles’ family and his loved ones. We accept the coroner’s findings in full, and will ensure these are used to build upon the changes made as a result of the Trust’s internal review and the clinical lessons learned from Myles’ sad death.
“We would also like to thank the coroner for acknowledging the progress made by the Trust. This includes the work we have completed on training, and the investment made over the last few years in supporting people with learning disabilities, including compliance audits for capacity assessments. We accept that there is further work we need to do around ensuring all colleagues understand the needs of people we care for who live with a learning disability, and that this is proactively promoted and followed through into practice.”
