Clinical negligence harms learning

Full Decision

Summary

Mr C complained that his GP practice failed to properly diagnose his symptoms for several years, and did not undertake a simple blood test that finally revealed the cause of his illness. However, as he did not then respond to our correspondence, we were unable to investigate his complaint, and closed his case.
