Hospital's care for woman during final days criticised
The care provided by a Belfast hospital for a 61-year-old woman with throat problems in the last four days of her life fell short of what was expected, an investigation by the North’s Ombudsman has revealed.
The probe by Tom Frawley’s office identified 29 failures by staff on a general ward at the Royal Victoria Hospital in the management and provision of the patient’s care and treatment, it emerged today.
