Overview
- Emma Robinson, a Nottinghamshire mental health manager, told the inquiry on Tuesday that staff had effectively lost Valdo Calocane and discharged him to his GP in September 2022 after failed contact attempts.
- In the same testimony, Robinson accepted the GP received very little information and confirmed Nottinghamshire Police were not told about the discharge.
- Sharon Heath, who wrote the discharge letter, said Tuesday that sending a non‑engaging patient with paranoid schizophrenia and a history of violence back to primary care was not appropriate.
- Anthony Rogers, head of the CPS inspectorate, said Wednesday that while accepting manslaughter was legally correct, a second‑degree murder category would have been more understandable to families and merits Parliament’s review.
- Community consultant Dr Tuhina Lloyd said Wednesday the team had no powers to force appointments or treatment and could not meet the Mental Health Act threshold, and further evidence Thursday described medication changes at Calocane’s request and lies in assessments that staff felt unable to act on.
