"I have to give credit where it's due to the trust in the sense that all points of the breaches of care that we have highlighted to them have been admitted and they are particularly around the lack of psychiatric care beds, that the Mental Health Act wasn't exercised," said Ms Furness.She said "had it not been for the breaches" of care her son might not have taken his own life.
"I feel completely let down," she said. "But these breaches, they need to be spoken about because what I want is for Haydon to have not died in vain."Oakwood Solicitors, which represented Ms Furness, said Mr Croucher's "family have received the truth that they deserved.
The statement added that changes made following Mr Croucher's death included expanding the team to "reduced the case load", "additional community based resources for people in crisis" and "all decisions to discharge from home treatment are made by the team not individuals".
