• YOU report the inquest into the death of Mark McCraig, who died of bronchopneumonia, (Man died in hostel just two days after being discharged from hospital, July 27).

A hostel worker recounted to the inquest how Mr McCraig weighed 50 kilos and had stopped eating and drinking the previous week.

Despite the fact that Mr McCraig was bleeding the night before he died, the hostel worker did not call an ambulance. He told the coroner that the hospital did not provide any documentation giving the reasons for Mr McCraig’s discharge.

Louise Cantrell, service investigator for Camden and Islington NHS Trust, said Mr McCraig was “a difficult individual but the agencies worked above and beyond”.

Apart from trying to colour the inquest’s view of Mr McCraig’s character with personal judgements, and making public parts of Mr McCraig’s confidential medical files, it doesn’t sound like any agency did anything which could be described as “above and beyond”?

Am I, a random, unconnected Tribune reader, really the only person who sees Camden and Islington NHS Trust mental health services as the con trick they are?
