A PSYCHIATRIST has appeared before a judge at Carlisle Crown Court

accused of causing the death of one of his patients at The West

Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven.

Fisher, 45, is accused of the manslaughter of 39-year-old

father of two Weighman.

Mr Weighman, who lived in Duke Street, Whitehaven, died from an

overdose in the hospital's Yewdale psychiatric ward on September 22,

2002.

The charge alleges that Dr Fisher's lack of care led to his death.

At Monday's four minute hearing Dr Fisher, who was employed as a

locum at The West Cumberland Hospital, between August and October

2002, but now lives in Cullompton, Devon, spoke only to confirm his

name and did not enter a plea.

He was granted bail until his next court appearance, a plea and case

management hearing on January 4.

" An inquest found in September 2003 that the cause of Mr Weighman's

death was suicide aggravated by neglect. "

This kind of ruling doesn't bode well for mental patients actually

because it could now be ruled 'neglect' if a psychiatrist does NOT

prescribe SSRIs and various other drugs.
