An MP has written to secretary of state for health and social care Sajid Javid after a mum raised concerns about the treatment her daughter was receiving at Southmead Hospital.
Vicky Archer was first taken into hospital in November and, after being in and out of hospital for a few weeks, she was admitted into Southmead Hospital on January 24, prior to being discharged into a local care home last week. However, her mum Alison is unhappy with the decision, saying that "it is wrong that she has been discharged when she is clearly unwell".
The 20-year-old was first diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis back in 2016, with the condition at that point being triggered by a mosquito bite while on holiday in Menorca. Alison claimed that her daughter has had six confirmed relapses since and, upset about the way she has now been treated by Southmead Hospital, she got in touch with her MP.
