Investigation reports

A patient who died three days after visiting his doctor for a routine medical review received treatment that was 'appropriate and in accordance with relevant guidance' according to an investigation by the Ombudsman.

An investigation has concluded that the care plans prepared for a resident of a nursing home in Armagh were largely adequate, but that it had underestimated the resident’s risk of a fall, and that it was inconsistent in its assessment of his mental state.

Ombudsman finds that GP ‘followed good practice and relevant clinical standards’ during patient’s breast cancer examinations.
