Ania Sohail, 22, collapsed after ingesting medication she'd bought from online pharmacies whilst detained under the Mental Health Act at the Junction 17 unit in Prestwich.

Miss Sohail, who had been diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder, and had a history of self-harm, was able to order medication from four different websites and had it delivered to her family's home in Whalley Range.
