Investigation reports

A woman complained about her father’s treatment in hospital during the last weeks of his life. We found he was looked after properly, but were critical that consultants did not respond to a request from the woman to discuss his care plan.

We upheld a complaint that a man should not have been on the same anti-depressant medication without a review for more than 5 years.

A woman contacted her Health Trust to complain about her social worker, who she felt had wrongly accused her of emotional and psychological abuse towards her children.

A man complained about the care and treatment his late wife received by the South Eastern Trust.  Our investigation found no failures.

The Belfast Trust has put in place new procedures for carrying out pre-operative assessments after we partially upheld a man’s complaint.

A woman whose husband was in significant pain and was feeling suicidal said he shouldn’t have been discharged from hospital.
