A Scots health board has been ordered to apologise to a liver cancer patient after they were wrongly told they only had ‘months to live’.
NHS Tayside has also been heavily criticised for several delays in the person’s diagnosis and treatment, which have been deemed ‘well out with normal guidelines’.
The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman found that medics failed to refer the results of a scan to a specialist for consideration until the patient chased it up.
