The company responsible for operating The Priory Hospital has been fined £140,000 by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) following the tragic death of 21-year-old Francesca Whyatt. The incident occurred on the hospital’s Emerald Ward, where Francesca was found unconscious and later passed away.
Francesca, a resident of Knutsford in Cheshire, was transferred to The Priory Hospital in Roehampton, London, in March 2013. On September 25, she was discovered unconscious in a patient lounge on the top floor of the hospital. It was determined that Francesca had used her tights as a ligature in response to an incident involving other patients.
