Death of vulnerable Scots woman who choked on marshmallow 'could have been prevented'
09.02.2023 - 22:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The death of a vulnerable Scots woman who chocked and later died could have been prevented if suitable training was provided to staff working for a housing association. Ark Housing Association Ltd has now been fined £100,000 for health and safety failings which led to the death of a woman in its care.
Shirley Breeze, 64, choked after her support worker gave her a marshmallow that was not suitable for her dietary needs. She then suffered two cardiac arrests and a seizure which led to her being placed in an induced coma.
She died on December 2, 2019. Ark Housing Association Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation which provides care and housing for adults with complex needs, was in charge of Miss Breeze's care.
The Crown Office said Ark pled guilty to a health and safety at work breach committed between October 2018 and November 2019 at a hearing at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Miss Breeze was a service user of Ark since October 2006 and was provided with support to live independently in her own flat in Cowdenbeath, Fife.
She had severe learning disabilities and received 24/7 care.
Miss Breeze had been assessed as "at risk of choking" following an incident in June 2017.
She had been placed on a modified "soft diet" and had an eating and drinking plan in place along with a menu of suitable foods.
Prosecutors said Ark failed to ensure staff were given adequate training on her diet or were sufficiently familiar with the high-risk food groups and the practice of changing or adding items to the menu planner, which contributed to unsuitable foods being given to Miss Breeze.
They said it was entirely foreseeable that if support workers were not properly trained or instructed in the suitability of foods, they might offer foods
