The coroner's concerns
1. lack of system to ensure requested blood tests are taken and reported back to GP practice
“I am concerned that there is no system in place to ensure that requested blood tests are actually taken and reported back to the GP practice”
2. missed followup due to lack of family involvement when patient lacks capacity
“Mrs [name redacted] family had concerns, which I share, that where a patient does not have capacity to make decisions about attending medical appointments they might be inadvertently missed when family members are not copied into correspondence”
3. lack of patient medical history information available to medical crews
“The lack of information available to the attending medical crews on 7 December 2014 was also a concern of Mrs [name redacted] family, which I share”
