A message from the Chair – “The evidence given by bereaved families and friends is vital to the Inquiry’s understanding of the key issues and its concerns within the scope of our work, and I am grateful to them all for their time and effort in engaging with the Inquiry.  It remains crucial that we keep in our minds the people who experienced, either directly or indirectly, the mental health inpatient services with which this Inquiry is concerned.”
