The Northern Trust failed to act on a woman’s concerns about her mother’s health. This, as well as its failure to properly assess her spinal injury and accurately read the results of an MRI scan, led to her untimely death.
We found that a man recovering from a stomach operation was discharged too early from the ICU of Belfast City Hospital. We asked the Trust to apologise, and to review the treatment of a number of other patients who had returned to ICU following a similar operation.
