Highgate mental health patient ‘hanged herself’ on hospital ward
A mental health patient hanged herself on a hospital ward in between checks by nurses, an inquest has heard.
Tanya Page, 41, was found lifeless at the Highgate Mental Health Centre in Dartmouth Park Hill on May 20 last year about an hour after being sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
A jury was told that her doctors did not think it was necessary to increase the number of times she was checked on by staff, despite her suicidal thoughts.
