The coroner’s concerns
The evidence at the inquest was that no medical practitioner saw this lady from the 30 December 2022 to the 03 January 2023, over the New Year Bank Holiday period. My concerns are that whilst there might be a doctor available on call to treat emergencies that occur, there is insufficient cover to assess the subtleties of care required by patients, the absence of which may be as detrimental to the patient as not having emergency cover.
