Many readers will have heard about the court case that resulted in South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust being fined £28,000 over the death of healthcare assistant, Mamade Chattun, known as Eshan. Mr Chattun died in June 2003 after being subjected to a frenzied attack by Jason Cann, an inpatient at Springfield University Hospital in Tooting, south London. In addition to the fine, the trust was also ordered to pay £14,000 costs. It admitted that in exposing MrChattun to a risk to his safety, the Health and Safety at Work Act had been breached.
