The father-of-four died two days after being admitted to hospital.
The 36-year-old dad died died two days after being admitted to Dykebar Hospital in Paisley. An investigation into his death by the Health and Safety Executive found that some of the fixtures and fittings on the South Ward were not of an anti-ligature design.
She explained: "Their failure to ensure that ligature points within the hospital were suitably and sufficiently risk-assessed and that patients were not exposed to those ligature points led to the death of a man in their care."The man was admitted to the hospital on January 20, 2020 and the HSE investigation following his passing also found that health chiefs failed to ensure that the existing ligature points at Dykebar Hospital were suitably and sufficiently risk assessed.
NHS Glasgow pled guilty at Paisley Sheriff Court to breaching health and safety regulations between January and March 2020.
