4 days agoPost Office Horizon IT scandal: five things we learned from the report
The inquiry found that the number of people who either took their own lives or contemplated doing so is much higher than previously reported. While earlier accounts linked the scandal to four suicides, the report states the actual total is likely 13, with the possibility of more unreported deaths. At least 59 individuals experienced suicidal thoughts, and 10 of them made attempts, with some attempting more than once. This common experience of suicidal contemplation extended to both those prosecuted and those not facing prosecution, highlighting the extensive mental health toll of the scandal.
