‘There was nothing hopeless about Alice’ – family on fight for truth
The family of a woman who died in mental health care speak about their fight to hold staff accountable.
Alice Figueiredo’s family have said it would “astound” people if they saw how families could be treated by hospital trusts in the wake of a loved one’s death.
It comes after the North East London Foundation NHS Trust and a ward manager were found guilty of health and safety failings over the death of the 22-year-old in a mental health unit.
Her sister Eleanor, mother Jane, and stepfather Max spoke to BBC Breakfast about their 10-year fight for the truth over Alice’s death.
