Concerned relatives of an elderly pensioner have hit out over his care, after a doctor decided to send him home from hospital.
Royal Navy veteran Thomas McLachlan, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, was discovered by his daughter and son-in-law, Linda and Ramsay Millar, lying on the floor at his home in Craigneuk, Wishaw after having fallen.
Later that night they were shocked to learn from a doctor that the 88-year-old was being discharged from University Hospital Wishaw – just hours after he’d been taken there by ambulance.
