Following a recent inquest, a coroner concluded that the UK Treasury played a material role in the death of 26-year-old Chloe Moffat, who died by suicide last May. Moffat, a personal assistant at the department, had reportedly been in high spirits during the weekend preceding her death, making plans for future holidays and social gatherings.

For the past year, her parents, David and Anne Moffat, have conducted their own investigation into the events leading up to their daughter's death. The coroner’s ruling serves as a significant development in their ongoing efforts to hold the government department accountable. The parents have expressed a deep concern that, despite the official findings, the Treasury may fail to implement the necessary systemic changes to prevent similar tragedies. The family’s advocacy is centered on ensuring that the specific failures identified by the coroner are addressed with transparency and urgency. As of now, the Treasury has not issued a detailed public response regarding the specific policy shifts they intend to undertake in light of the coroner's findings.
