Families of Nottingham Attack Victims Demand Accountability for Mental Health Failures

A damning report reveals systemic lapses in the care of paranoid schizophrenic Valdo Calocane, prompting calls for individual doctors to be held responsible.

The families of the Nottingham attack victims are calling for individual accountability for doctors involved in the care of Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in June 2023.
An independent report highlights repeated failures by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, including not enforcing medication despite clear risks posed by Calocane.
Calocane, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was sectioned four times but discharged without adequate follow-up, leading to the fatal attacks.
Victims' families are urging a statutory public inquiry with full powers to compel testimony, emphasizing the need for systemic and individual accountability.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has pledged to ensure recommendations from the report are implemented nationwide to prevent similar tragedies.
