Summary
Mrs C complained about the respiratory care (care of the lungs and other organs) and treatment provided to her by the board. She said that she did not feel she was given appropriate follow-up care and that this resulted in her respiratory problems becoming worse.
We took independent advice from a consultant in respiratory medicine. We found that Mrs C was appropriately investigated and that no follow-up was necessary. We also found that there was no evidence that her respiratory problems had been caused by, or became worse as a result of, lack of follow-up. We did not uphold Mrs C's complaint.
