A man said his autistic son’s health deteriorated because the Western Trust did not properly address his needs. Our investigation found that the Trust failed to provide a reasonable level of care and support to both the boy and his family over a 21-year period.
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.
