The Public Prosecution Service is Demanding A Fine of 25,000 euros Against Healthcare Institution the Jagerhuis for the Death of a Client. The Forty-Year-old Victim died a heat wave in 2020. This was allegedly preceded by years of Negligent care.
On August 12, 2020, Joffrey was found lifeless in His Room in Veenendaal. His family was alarmed because they could not get in touch with him. The Victim Appeared to Have Been Dead For Some Time. “He was Left in A Havily Polluted, Overheated Room, Without Any Care or Attention,” His Mother Said On Monday in Her Victim Statement in The Court in Utrecht.
Initially, It Seemed to Be A Natural Death. The Family Did not Trust It and Filed A Report in 2021. After Investigation, The Public Prosecution Service (OM) Ruled that the Death was partly caaed “by years of Structural and Essential Shortcomings in the Organization of Care and Therefore the Care for the Victim”.
The Victim Has Not Received the Care For Years That He Should Have Received Accordance to A Care Indication. His care file was not updated over time, as a result of which he recovered too little care for years. Both the management and administration of his medication was also not in order.
It also turned out that the hunter house did not have a heat protocol when the knmi announced a days-long heat wave on August 5. The National Heat Plan Went Into Effect A Day later. Accordance to the public prosecution service, The Healthcare Institution Created “A Great Risk of overheating and Dehydration for the Clients, Including The Victim”. The public prosecutor Said in Court that “Joffrey was Left to his Fate”.
No One was allowed to enter the house
The public prosecutor continued that you can “Expect from a Healthcare provider that client Safety is in order, that the quality of care is in order and that the professional standard is at all times the Standard for Medical Practice”. “The Institution has not lived up to these expectations in any way.”
The Director of the Jagerhuis Said in Court That She Felt That Her Company Was Being As A “Scapegoat”. “We are very sorry that joffrey haas died. It has caused a lot of complaint to residents and employees. It hurts that we are accused of doing this on purpose.” The Court Will Pronounce Judgment on November 10.
Joffrey Suffered from Paranoid Schizophrenia and had a mild intellectual disability. The Man May Have Become Psychotic. Blood Tests from the Netherlands Forensic Institute Showed that he had not tasks any medication for 78 Hours Before His Death.
The Victim had not Allowed Anyone Into His Home Since 2013. That applied to Both Aid Workers and Family. The Jagerhuis accepted and respected this right to self-determination.
