The family of a loved one who died following a ruptured bowel have seen their complaint over the tragic patient’s treatment thrown out.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran were adjudged to have administered “a reasonable standard of treatment” in the case, according to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO).
The organisation was asked this month to look into the case which involved a patient who had been previously been treated at University Hospital, Ayr, and was in “severe pain.”
