I read with much sadness, disappointment and anger of the death of Katrina Rolph.
The circumstances as reported were so familiar to me, as they were almost a replication of those which led to my own grandson's death only less than three years ago.
MORE: Promising law student Katrina Rolph had 'lack of care' before her death despite warning signsAt his inquest and in reports and letters from the N&S Mental Health Foundation Trust, we were told that lessons had been learned and changes would be made to obviate a repetition in the future.
Clearly they were just words with little intent behind them.
Our mental health system is in crisis and until fixed, young people will continue to be at risk of suicide.
MORE: Mental health trust changes systems after tragic death of Norwich law student Katrina RolphThis situation is unacceptable we are constantly told by politicians and professionals, that changes to improve mental health treatment and care are being made, so why does the system keep failing those in need of urgent and professional help.
I greatly appreciate the energy and attention to this problem being given by Norman Lamb MP, but he seems to be a voice in the wilderness.
