A local hospital patient with bowel problems suffered unneccessarily after being treated at a North Wales Hospital according to a report out from the Public Services Ombudsman.

The dignity of the 60 year old patient, who had long term medical conditions was also found to have their dignity compromised. 

Commenting on the news that a patient in North Wales received inadequate bowel care, having not being seen by a doctor before being discharged with new symptoms, Welsh Conservative Shadow North Wales Minister, Darren Millar MS said:

“I was distressed to read the ombudsman report highlighting inadequate care for yet another patient in North Wales and further shortcomings when it came to the record keeping by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

“Patients in North Wales deserve better than the repeated failings issued in report after report and the senior executives at the Health Board must be held accountable.”

Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister, Russell George MS added:

“Patients deserve dignity and respect when they are unwell and undergoing treatment in hospital. Sadly, in this case, a lady in North Wales was let down and it resulted in tragic consequences. Lessons need to be learnt.”
