The coroner’s concerns
– 1. The inquest heard evidence that the haematology department at the time of Mrs Doig’s stem cell transplant was understaffed and working beyond its capacity quite often leaving the team with very little time for comprehensive reviews. , consultant haematologist at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust confirmed at the inquest that the position remained the same today. This raises a concern that further deaths will occur and action is required.
