Deaths were not properly investigated

"The NHS has failed to investigate the unexpected deaths of more than 1,000 people since 2011, according to a report obtained by BBC News."

"It blames a "failure of leadership" at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust."

"It says the deaths of mental health and learning-disability patients were not properly examined..."

"The trust covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, providing services to about 45,000 people..."

"The culture of Southern Health, which has been led by Katrina Percy since it was created in 2011, `results in lost learning, a lack of transparency when care problems occur, as well as lack of assurance to families that a death was not avoidable and has been properly investigated,` the report says."
