Neglect - refusal to carry out legal responsibilities

Posted By Bart63

"Neglect - refusal to carry out legal responsibilities"

About: Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

I feel that LPFT has legal responsibility to coordinate aspects of my care.

So far they barely communicate at all, ignoring letters and phone calls.

Until LPFT begin to take their responsibility seriously my care cannot proceed. I am continuing to be detained in hospital for what I feel to be purely administrative reasons.

This neglect puts me seriously at risk of relapse or worse. It's the kind of situation that leads to people committing acts of desperation..

It is also costing the tax payer in excess of £2500 per week.

This kind of neglect feels criminal.
