— | was told in evidence at the Inquest that despite Mr MacMorland being under the care of consultant gastroenterologists during his final admission to hospital he was at no time treated in a specialist gastroenterology ward - even though the consultants had during that time requested such a transfer on five separate occasions. Given the nature of his medical problems, from the evidence | heard, | am of the opinion that he could have benefitted from the expertise and facilities available in a gastroenterology ward which might have had an effect on the outcome. | was also told that it is common for consultants’ requests for patient transfer to specialist wards not to be implemented.
