2. 2. unsafe patient transport without adequate monitoring and emergency support

   “The method by which Mrs [name redacted] was conveyed to the CT Scanner and back to the ward was described by the ITU consultant, who gave evidence, as 'dangerous.' He stated that at the very least Mrs [name redacted] should have been escorted by an anaesthetist and ODA, with appropriate vital signs monitoring and resuscitation equipment and drugs to deal with any medical emergency en route and equipment and drugs to protect and manage her airway.”
