A promising medical student took her own life ahead of the anniversary of her dad's suicide.
An inquest heard Ava-Jane Van Der Merwe, aged 21, who had a history of depression, visited her GP the night before her death and an 'urgent referral' was made to the mental health team.
The young woman should have been contacted that night but an NHS investigation found a member of staff was 'working within old time frames' and Ava-Jane wasn't called until the following day after she had died, LancsLive reported.
