The Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is being investigated for alleged corporate manslaughter following the discharge of Valdo Calocane, a man convicted of killing a victim in Nottingham. According to reports, the trust discharged Calocane despite concerns documented before his release, including a history of violence and threats to kill. The reporting also says he refused medication and that there were risks raised regarding his behavior.
The investigation focuses on whether the care and discharge decisions made by the NHS trust complied with duties of care and relevant procedures, given the alleged warning signs in Calocane’s history. The outlets report that prosecutors are looking at the trust’s management of clinical risk and whether systems in place around assessment, treatment, and discharge were adequate.
The trust and any legal authorities involved have not indicated in the provided summaries what the outcome of the investigation will be.
