Winston Williams THE daughter of an international chess champion who took his own life questioned why no “serious action” was taken to help her father. There was shock following the death of Winston Williams, 62, in July last year. He was a well-known West Yorkshire chess player and junior coach, who founded Bradford’s ‘Chesstival in the Park’ and was highly-regarded because of his passion for the game. In a tribute following his death, Ihor Lewyk, organiser of Bradford and District Chess Association, and Tim Wall, who played on a chess team with Mr Williams, said: A thoroughly lovely chap whose passion for chess was contagious. He was well loved in local leagues and will be greatly missed.”
AN inspection of two mental health sites in the district found the service was well-led and that patients were treated with “compassion and kindness”. But inspectors reported that not all staff had completed mandatory training and there needed to be a consistent approach to discharge planning. The Care Quality Commission made an unannounced visit in December to Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust’s acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units. It was prompted partly by reports of serious incidents on some wards, which raised concerns about the safety and quality of care. Inspectors also returned to check on the progress of improvements the trust was told to make in March last year.
