  • Report of the Independent Inquiry Into the Care and Treatment of Alexander

    Report of the Independent Inquiry Into the Care and Treatment of Alexander

    REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF ALEXANDER CAMERON Commissioned by Berkshire Health Authority September 2000 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS On 26 April 1997, Alexander Cameron killed his mother, Mrs Eileen Cameron. Mr Cameron was receiving out-patient treatment at the time, having been discharged from Fair Mile Hospital on 12 December 1994. He was admitted to a secure hospital in May 1997, and he remains detained there, having since been convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. There have already been two reviews of Mr Cameron’s care and treatment during the period before his mother’s death. One of these was an internal review undertaken by members of the NHS trust which manages Fair Mile. The other was undertaken by two external consultant psychiatrists. A third review, more than two years on, was a further source of distress for Mrs Cameron’s daughter, Julie Cameron. We therefore particularly wish to acknowledge the constructive and measured way in which she and her partner helped us. We also wish to acknowledge the way in which the professionals involved in Alexander Cameron’s care and treatment worked with us during what was a difficult time for them. Their candour, and commitment to providing the best possible service to local people, was commendable. Such candour is to be encouraged because it is the ultimate test of professionalism. The mature professional who accepts that their practice, or local practice, can be improved upon thereby ensures that the future direction of the service is based, not on falsehood, but on a true, comprehensive, understanding of its current state.
