A coroner will reveal today whether authorities responsible for Wymondham teenager Ellie Long are required to make changes after her death.

Ellie, 15, died on December 12, 2017.

She suffered with anorexia and a senior coroner for Norfolk Jacqueline Lake said at the conclusion of the inquest into her death: 'Ellie Long took action which ended her life. The evidence does not reveal whether she intended to die.'

After the inquest, her family hit out at a litany of failings by mental health professionals.

She was kind, gentle and sincere and always put others needs and feelings before her own.

'She was and still is a cherished daughter, granddaughter and niece. To Hannah, not only was she a devoted sister but also a best friend.

'To explain our feelings of loss is to explain the unthinkable, there simply are no words.

'Ellie struggled with her mental health in the last few months of her life and we feel that she was not given the support and treatment she needed by the Eating Disorder Service (EDS).'

The inquest heard there were just six people in the team meant to be looking after Ellie when the number of referrals they were getting should have meant there were at least 20 people.

'As we heard during the inquest there were a number of issues which impacted on the care Ellie received including a lack of available staff, failures in crisis planning and the need for better record keeping. Some of these were reiterated by the coroner today.'

Staffing levels in the team are now at full strength.'

If a coroner feels lessons could be learned to prevent similar future deaths, they can issue a regulation 28 report.

The person, body or organisation in receipt of this report then has 56 days to provide the coroner with their response, to include details of the actions taken and to reassure the coroner that their concerns have been addressed to prevent future deaths.
