A nurse who led the ward that cared for a popular Nottinghamshire market trader before his death has admitted their were delays and gaps in his care. Kate McGarry, ward sister for E16 at Queen's Medical Centre, told an inquest of significant delays in carrying out health screenings - called Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) - of David Knight.
In a statement she said food plans were incomplete for the 62-year-old who ran The Market Cobbler at the Idlewells Indoor Market, in Sutton-in-Ashfield. However, the coroner said this may not have necessarily led to his death on July 19 last year.
Speaking at Nottingham Council House on Thursday, July 28, assistant coroner Elizabeth Didcock said: "They may not have contributed to David's death but they are some very concerning aspects. There are a number of issues that it raises."
