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 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.
