The Western Trust’s failure to give a patient an MRI test caused her to experience prolonged pain and unnecessarily delayed treatment of her endometriosis.
The parents of a woman with multiple healthcare needs complained that she should have been cared for in a nursing home rather than a residential home. Our investigation found that the Trust properly assessed the woman’s needs and cared for her appropriately.
We recommended that the Hospice should review staff training on clear communication with patients and their carers, following our investigation into a complaint by the parents of a child in its care.
