Scots health board ordered to pay £250,000 to family of woman who took own life

A health board which acted negligently in caring for a mentally ill mum of two who committed suicide has been ordered to pay £250,000 to her family. Judge Lord Arthurson found that Lanarkshire Health Board failed to look after 35-year-old Lynette Giblen who lost her life at her mother’s house in Glasgow on October 10 2016.
The Court of Session heard how Mrs Giblen - who Lord Arthurson described as being a ‘beautiful singer, a gifted photographer’ and ‘a loving mother’ - had suffered from severe mental illness. The court heard that throughout 2016, Mrs Giblen had several interactions with NHS mental health services.
She had also been diagnosed with a condition called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder when she was 16 and had spent time in a psychiatric ward at Hairmyres Hospital in Lanarkshire. The court also heard that she had been discharged from the ward in September 2016 and had gone to live with her mum, Violet Paterson,78, in Glasgow.
It was the fourth time she had been discharged from hospital that year. However, medics allowed her to leave the hospital and her family believed they failed to provide her with proper care in the immediate time following her release.
Witnesses reported seeing Ms Giblen displaying poor mental health and having “delusional beliefs” in the last few weeks of her life. Their belief that the doctors had failed Lynette prompted Mrs Paterson, her son Ross, her daughter Janet and Mrs Giblen’s two children Alissa ,20, and Kristofer ,22, to launch legal action.
Lawyers for the family told Lord Arthurson that the health board acted negligently and didn’t do enough to ensure her safety following her release from Hairmyres.
Their beliefs were supported by a London based consultant
