A senior doctor has admitted that the NHS did not do enough for a 14-year-old who died under the care of a private hospital it sent her to and kept her in despite knowing it was understaffed daily, an inquest has heard.
The doctor, Dr Gillian Combe, has also warned that children’s mental health units across the country are struggling to staff their wards every day and that the NHS does not have the money to build its own wards.
