Investigation reports

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 pre-admission assessment for a care home resident did not accurately record her mobility, meaning that the home was ill-prepared for her arrival.

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.
