Early Lampard findings could come within weeks
Campaigners say the system was used in half of England’s mental health trusts and may have contributed to deaths and unsafe monitoring.
- The Lampard Inquiry convenes at Chelmsford Civic Centre this week to determine if emergency interim guidance is required for Oxevision, a remote monitoring system used in 50 per cent of England's mental health trusts.
- Campaigners and bereaved families argue the technology is intrusive and clinically ineffective, replacing essential human checks with digital surveillance that failed to prevent deaths, including that of 27-year-old Sophie Alderman.
- Nina Ali, a partner at Hodge Jones & Allen representing 120 affected families, called the system "potentially unlawful," citing cases where staff ignored alerts, leading to preventable fatalities.
- Lio Health maintains the platform supports staff by preventing serious incidents like falls, while NHS England and the Care Quality Commission prepare to provide testimony during the hearings.
- Hearings continue through 15 October, with Baroness Lampard expected to decide on potential interim recommendations after gathering views from families scheduled for discussion later this month.
