The coroner’s concerns
– (1) A mechanical thrombectomy service is not available in the region outside of 9.00am to 5.00pm due to insufficient neuroradiologists being available to run such a service. I am told that this issue is listed on the Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s ‘Risk Register’ and that a business plan has been submitted to NHS England in relation to funding for additional clinicians. However, at the present time, should patients currently require a mechanical thrombectomy outside of the hours of 9.00am to 5.00pm, such a service would not be available to them and this could result in their death despite this potentially being preventable were such a service available.
