An investigation has cleared staff at NHS Ayrshire & Arran from wrongdoing — after they were forced to restrain a patient so they could save their life.
The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) said the organisation’s treatment of the patient was of a “reasonable standard” and the likelihood of having to restrain them “had been anticipated.”
The case centres around a patient, known only as ‘C’, who raised a complaint about NHS Ayrshire & Arran.
