AN INQUEST into the death of a woman in a private hospital has found that there were widespread failings in her care and neglect contributed to her death.

Lily Lucas, 28, died after being found unresponsive while she was an NHS inpatient at privately run Cygnet Hospital in September 2022.

She had been admitted in Kewstoke, Weston-super-Mare, three months earlier under Section 3 of the Mental Health Act.
