IN THE SURREY CORONER’S COURT
IN THE MATTER OF:
__________________________________________________________
The Inquests Touching the Death of Julia Ann Clarke Hayward
A Regulation 28 Report – Action to Prevent Future Deaths
__________________________________________________________
THIS REPORT IS BEING SENT TO:
 The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for the
Department of Health
1 CORONER
Simon Wickens HM Area Coroner for Surrey
2 CORONER’S LEGAL POWERS
I make this report under paragraph 7(1) of Schedule 5 to The Coroners
and Justice Act 2009.
3 INVESTIGATION and INQUEST
The inquest into the death of Mrs Julia Ann Clarke Hayward was
opened on the 29th May 2014 and was resumed on the 10th August 2015. It
was concluded on 11th August 2015.
The cause of death was:
1a – Multiple Injuries.
The Narrative conclusion was; On the 23rd May 2014 at the railway lines at St
Johns, Woking Julia Ann Hayward died of multiple injuries sustained after she
intentionally placed herself in the path of an oncoming train whilst suffering
from mental illness. Her intention at the time was unclear.
4 CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH
On the 21st May 2015 Mrs Hayward ran out in front of a lorry. She was
not injured but was detained and assessed under the Mental Health Act
1983. Following the assessment and discussion with her husband, Mrs
Hayward was discharged home.
On the 22nd May 2014 Mrs Hayward was visited at home by the Home
Treatment Team.
On the 23rd May 2014 after her husband left the home address, Mrs
Hayward travelled to the railway line where she accessed the tracks and
placed herself in front of a train, which led to her death.

5 CORONER’S CONCERNS
During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed that when a
decision was made to discharge a patient home and into the care of a
family member, following a mental health assessment. The Care Plan
was agreed orally and not documented for the family member.
Consequently, issues arose as to what was expected/anticipated of the
family member under the Care Plan and what was understood by that
family member as being their obligations.
The MATTER OF CONCERN is:
Agreement of a Care Plan
Consideration should be given to ensuring that following a MHA
1983 assessment where a discharge is decided upon and care plan
is agreed (in particular if it places any obligations upon a
relative/family member) such plan is clearly documented and a
copy of the plan is given to that person/persons as well as the
patient discharged.
6 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN
In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I
believe that the people listed in paragraph one above have the power to
take such action.
