A man believed that staff from his wife’s care home should have consulted with doctors when she contracted Covid-19. We partially upheld the complaint.
We found that a medical assessment performed during a home visit was carried out in line with good medical practice, but that the GP should have recorded what had been discussed with the patient and her family, and what they should do if her symptoms did not improve.
An investigation into the way Transport NI (now DfI Roads) dealt with consultation responses to a planning application has led to the Ombudsman making a number of recommendations.
