The coroner's concerns
1. incident involving inadequate support of elderly patient
“received information from the family that on the afternoon of the 26 July 2013, following difficulties in moving Mrs [name redacted], for a while hospital staff left one of Mrs [name redacted] daughters (aged 70) supporting her mother. One of them then returned with a blue lifting bag with handles but she was not properly supported and fell back heavily on the bed with some force. Investigation has been carried out by the Ward 6 manager and | received a report which indicates there is no record of any such”
2. lack of head CT scan after attendance
“reasons why Mrs [name redacted] did not have a CT scan of her head following the attendance on the 18 July 2013”
