Inquest into the death of Averil Hart

Four-week inquest into the death of a young student from the consequences of untreated anorexia nervosa. This was the last of a series of high profile inquests conducted into five anorexia deaths by the same Coroner. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman had also enquired into and reported on this death. Andrew represented one of the GPs from the University Health Centre whose treatment of the deceased was in question. The Coroner’s conclusions avoided any individual criticism of the GP or the Health Centre.
