The Western Trust’s failure to give a patient an MRI test caused her to experience prolonged pain and unnecessarily delayed treatment of her endometriosis.
The parents of a woman with multiple healthcare needs complained that she should have been cared for in a nursing home rather than a residential home. Our investigation found that the Trust properly assessed the woman’s needs and cared for her appropriately.
An investigation has revealed that a nursing home failed to fully record its observations of a resident's head injury following a fall, and did not call an ambulance to take him to hospital until almost eight hours after the incident.
