Grandmother killed herself after 'failures at every level' as a result of NHS cost-cutting forced her to leave care home

A grandmother killed herself after she was forced to leave a care home because of NHS cost-cutting. An inquest found there were 'failures at every level' in the care of Sheila McInulty, 65, who died from a lethal overdose of prescription medication in February 2011 after managers ignored the advice of psychiatrists and removed her from the Mountview recovery unit in Northwood. Ms McInulty, of Edgware, west London, was suffering with a mental health condition and had repeatedly attempted suicide, the Harrow Times reported.
