Conclusion
Jump to
93 The Health Service Ombudsman concluded that the prescriptions of medications in combination had not been inappropriate, and that prescribing those medications did not amount to a failure in the service provided by the Trust or its doctors. She found that there was maladministration in the recording of diagnoses in Frank’s medical records. She did not, however, find that the maladministration resulted in significant unremedied injustice and did not uphold this aspect of Mr and Mrs Taylor’s complaint.
94 However, in terms of the more general complaints about the lack of care provided to Frank we have found that maladministration by both the Council and the Trust resulted in unremedied injustice to Frank and his parents. We therefore uphold the complaints by Mr and Mrs Taylor against both the Council and the Trust.
