The coroner's concerns
1. staffing shortages
“The court received some helpful evidence from a Clinical Matron at the hospital. She explained that since Mr [name redacted] death changes have been made which have included a new Trust policy. (It should also be noted that there was some good practice noted in relation to Mr [name redacted] care.) However, it was not disputed there are long - standing challenges in terms of staffing levels, notwithstanding efforts that have been and continue to be made in relation to recruitment of new staff.”
