Investigation reports

We found that a letter sent by a GP Practice to patient was appropriate and followed relevant guidelines.

We established that it was appropriate for a dental practice to refer a patient to another practice for sedation, but we asked it to apologise to her for causing a misunderstanding.

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.
