1. discharge letter indicating subcutaneous fluids
“There was considerable confusion about the terms of Mrs [name redacted] discharge from Queens Hospital to the care home on 25 March 2013. There was a written discharge letter that indicated that Mrs [name redacted] should continue to receive sub cutaneous fluids at the care home and this presented considerable difficulties in finding somewhere suitable to take her. In fact when she was discharged it appears to be on an understanding that she was not going to receive sub cutaneous fluids although this was contrary”
