Coroner's Concerns

You will note that this document is woefully short on detail and has significant omissions of vital information for the GP's. On page one of the report there are no details given as to Admission date, admission ward, admission method, admission source, discharge destination or discharge date. patient sustained a fall within 3 days of his discharge and this led to or exacerbated his subdural haemorrhage.
Action Should Be Taken
In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and | believe you have the power to take such action: It is essential that full information is passed promptly to the GP practice of a patient discharged.
