The coroner's concerns
1. delayed transfer to dialysis unit
“No transfer to Salford Royal Infirmary, in fact, took place”
2. poor communication
“The quality of communication between the 14th-20th November 2016 raises a fundamental issue of concern in the appropriateness of her treatment and care”
3. information gap
“There was no evidence received at the Inquest as to when the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary was informed by the Salford Royal Infirmary that a bed was or would have been available for the patient”
