Earlier, Ms Figueiredo’s mother Jane Figueiredo said the family had been treated with “dismissive contempt, belittling and playing down” their “well-founded” concerns about her daughter’s care.
In a victim impact statement, she told the court: “Such attitudes go against everything patient care stands for in our NHS.”
She said her daughter had been treated by some staff with “unkindness, harshness, indifference, ignorance, even at times cruelty”.
She described her daughter as a “uniquely beautiful, brave, affectionate generous, kind, colourful, creative and luminous spirit”.
She said: “The impact of Alice’s untimely, preventable death on every aspect of my life and our life as a family has been immeasurable.”
Chief executive of the trust, Paul Calaminus, told the BBC that following the sentencing, he had written to the Figueiredo family to arrange a personal apology.
He said NEFLT was “deeply sorry, both Alice’s untimely death and for everything that her family and friends have had to endure over the last decade”.
He added a “huge amount” of work had been done to improve patient care, but he warned that the fine may impact on services.
