'Law change could save lives after our daughter's death'

by Xavier

The parents of a student nurse who took her own life are calling for a change in the law to ensure mental health patients are supported with decisions about their care.

Bronwen Morgan, 26, who was diagnosed with a personality disorder, died after being found unresponsive at a Cardiff hotel in 2020.

Bronwen's parents Jayne and Haydn said shared decision making – when healthcare professionals involve a patient's trusted relative or friend in decisions about their treatment and care – should become the law.

The Welsh government said care tailored to people's needs was a key aim in its new mental health and suicide strategies.
