Family of nurse found dead in river say she was failed by ‘systemic neglect’

The family of Victoria Taylor, a 34-year-old nurse found dead in a river, has claimed that she was failed by "systemic neglect and under-resourcing in mental health services." The inquest questioned why more help was not offered to Taylor after her mental health deteriorated. Taylor was described as a "devoted mother, a loving fiancee and a fiercely loyal sister." The family's statement suggests that the mental health system failed to provide adequate support and resources to assist Taylor during her time of need, ultimately leading to her tragic death. The article highlights the ongoing challenges faced by individuals struggling with mental health issues and the importance of ensuring that mental health services are adequately funded and accessible to those who require them. The family's assertion of "systemic neglect" underscores the need for a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to addressing mental health concerns in the healthcare system.
