Re Sean Kay (PFD report sent to NHS Norfolk and Waveney CCG) [2021] MHLO 4

Gaps in service The coroner's concern was that a gap in service provision meant Sean fell between services and did not receive appropriate care. He had been referred by his GP to mental health services. The Early Intervention in Psychosis Team (EIPT) assessed him as not meeting their criteria for first episode of psychosis but as being in the 'at risk mental state' (ARMS) cohort of patients, which meant that his level of risk was now too high for continued work with the Wellbeing Services. He also did not meet the criteria for the Community Mental Health Team, the Crisis Team, or the charity Mind. An Interface Team Meeting did not take place because of an administrative error so at the time of his suicide six days later he was waiting to hear whether and from whom he would receive support. In neighbouring Suffolk (and many other areas) ARMS patients would have met the EIPT criteria.
