Nhs Trust Negligent attempt Concealment

[Stealth Shadow 69]

Hi,

 

My brother-in-law had surgery on his knee at an NHS trust near him, he is only 11! They did such a bad job on it he had to be booked in for another surgery opp less than a month later. They didn't show compassion and they were in a rush to discharge him even though he had a torn attendant, fluid in his knee and cartilage damage, one of the doctors even said "he is not in pain , he can walk it off". After making an appointment a surgeons did the opp and he seemed to have fixed it. He kept having the same pain an problems with it so we took him back to the hospital.

 

After we made another appointment they realized they had done something wrong and tried to get him rushed in for another surgery to fix this but instead we took him to a specialised kids hospital where after running some tests they spotted the problem but needed the notes on the previous operations of which the trust was unwilling to provide so the surgeon had to perform the operation without them as he was in a lot of pain.

 

Is there any way we can get the full medical report on that and can we be advised on this matter please.

Hi stealth

 

Here's the relevant information:- http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/health.aspx

 

Also some Hospital Trusts have their own SAR online, so you could google the Trust.
