Allison Aules’ death raises wider concerns about underfunding of mental health services, says coroner
Medical neglect and “gross failures” by a mental health trust contributed to the suicide of a 12-year-old girl in a case that has highlighted national concerns about underfunding, a coroner has ruled.
Allison Aules from Redbridge in north-east London died in July last year after her mood changed completely during the Covid lockdown, her family told the inquest at an east London coroner’s court.
