Referring to the care and treatment of Maddock, investigators said that some sort of serious incident was foreseeable and the risk he posed should have been brought to the attention of Mr Naylor. | |
However, the report concluded it could not have prevented Maddock acting in the way he did. | |
Dr Jaswinder Bamrah, of the mental health trust, said a thorough investigation had been carried out after Mr Naylor was killed, in Hambridge Close, Cheetham Hill, in May 2010. | |
As a result, a "number of actions to improve processes around the care provided to patients presenting in a similar way" have been undertaken, Dr Bamrah said. | |
He also said there had been "significant improvements" to risk-monitoring and reporting, including the introduction of additional training and the establishment of a high level incident panel. |
