Mental health unit 'failed teen'
A coroner has strongly criticised the care provided by a specialist youth mental health unit leading up to the suicide of 17-year-old Toran Henry.
Auckland Coroner Murray Jamieson said Marinoto Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services' care of the teenager "was deficient on occasion and in particular on the day of his death".
His remarks were included in the findings of the inquest into Toran's death on March 20, 2008. The report was issued yesterday.
