Summary
Mrs C complained about the care and treatment provided to her mother (Mrs A) by the practice. She complained that Mrs A's symptoms and medical and dental history were largely ignored. Mrs C felt that Mrs A's life was cut short as a result of poor care and treatment by the practice.
We took independent advice from a GP. We found that the care and treatment provided to Mrs A by the practice was of a reasonable standard. We found no evidence that the practice had failed to act on abnormal results or that the practice failed to arrange appropriate investigations and referral to secondary care. We did not uphold the complaint.
