The care and treatment of a patient in Causeway Hospital
The Northern Trust failed to provide a patient with a nutritional care plan during his time in hospital. We also found that it should have contacted his family to discuss arrangements for a DNACPR.

Report recommendations
We asked the Trust to apologise to the complainant for the injustice caused as a result of the failures.
We also asked it to provide training to relevant nursing staff, and to choose a random sample of DNACPR forms over the last six months to check if they were completed correctly.
