Investigation reports

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.

We found that failures in the care and treatment of a patient by a GP Practice had no impact on the prognosis or outcome, but had they not occurred it may have been possible for the patient to have received an earlier diagnosis.

A report has criticised elements of the care and treatment provided to an elderly patient in Domnall Care Home (Belfast).
