'I don't want to fight. Lessons haven't been learned'

For the past few years one of England's biggest mental health trusts has been hit by a series of scandals - unexpected deaths, damning reports, and claims of bad practice.

The Trust looks after patients in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Richard West’s son David had a history of mental health problems and died in 2013 from a drug overdose while under the care of Southern Health.
