Lauren Bridges, 20, died after being moved to a mental health hospital 250 miles from her home.
From 2018 to 2022 Lauren was treated in a series of different hospitals,The move meant the Bridges family faced an estimated six-hour round trip to see her,Ms Harvey continued to conduct out of area visits to Lauren after the move.
She told the court Lauren's condition seemed to have improved after a visit in September 2021, as her family had been told she could be transferred to a rehabilitation unit. Ms Harvey said: "She'd become hopeful. My recollection was despite the challenges of the environment, she was positive in general."However, in October Ms Harvey said Lauren was "getting deeply distressed being so far away from home".
She recalled an email from Mrs Bridges which read: "I've had Lauren on the phone in a complete mess, crying because nobody will sit with her, nobody will wash her hair and nobody has time for her."She said: "She was wanting to be closer to her family and was distressed that there didn't seem to be any progress since my last visit about her being able to move.
"She described she had incidents more because of how she was feeling and recognised that was a barrier to her leaving."
