The coroner's concerns
1. lack of close supervision of patient at risk of falls
“Although the Splenomegaly (identified in Sunderland Royal Hospital on 16" October 2016) would not have led to any changes in the management of Mr [name redacted], I was concerned to hear in evidence, that Mr [name redacted] was meant to be under close supervision in his hospital room, but this was not the case despite a review of the falls risk assessment”
