Full Decision

Summary

Mr C complained about an endoscopy procedure that he had undergone at Forth Valley Royal Hospital which he found painful. Mr C died while our investigation was ongoing. Mr C's death was not connected to the endoscopy procedure about which he complained.

After making further enquiries, we decided that the most appropriate course of action was to discontinue our investigation.
