Investigation reports

An investigation into the care of a patient in Antrim Care Home found failings relating to the administration and recording of medicines, and in the way it responded to the patient’s panic attack.

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.

An investigation has revealed that a nursing home failed to fully record its observations of a resident's head injury following a fall, and did not call an ambulance to take him to hospital until almost eight hours after the incident.
