The coroner's concerns
1. lack of outpatient support for vulnerable patient
“due to the pandemic and restrictions Mrs [name redacted] was not supported as she would usually have been at outpatient appointments”
2. limited post‑discharge support and monitoring of vulnerable patient
“following her discharge back into the community after surgery support and monitoring was limited notwithstanding how vulnerable she was”
