The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate nasogastric feeding regime
“There was an inadequate regime of supplemented feeding by way of nasogastric tube meaning that [name redacted] was not receiving a consistent amount of calories per day to increase the chances of fighting infection. [name redacted] was a challenging patient and it could not be guaranteed that [name redacted] would always take her meals thus ensuring that her calorie intake was obtained orally.”
