NHS Ayrshire & Arran has been ordered to apologise to the family after discharging a frail patient who later died.
The child of the patient had complained to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman that the service had failed to provide reasonable care to their parent, who died soon after being admitted to hospital for a third time.
The Ombudsman said that the patient, who is only identified as patient 'A', was originally discharged just one day after being admitted to hospital, despite their heart issues, age and frailty.
