Investigation reports

A woman complained that her father’s health deteriorated because he was not looked after properly in his care home. Our investigation found failings in his care and treatment, as well as a string of serious record keeping failures by the home.

A report by the Ombudsman has criticised elements of the care provided to a patient by Spire Independent Healthcare, based in Blackpool (Lancashire). The patient was referred to Spire under a waiting list initiative operated by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
