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.

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.

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.
