Retired nurse Marion Munns died on November 12 last year after suffering a severe mental breakdown, an inquest heard. Coroner Grahame Short said there had been failings regarding Marion’s care, but that there had been significant policy changes since.

She said: ‘Southern Health’s apologies will never bring my mum back – nothing will.

‘But if I could ask them just one thing it would be to take a long hard look at themselves, identify their shortcomings and please, for the sake of other vulnerable people, change.’
