NHS moved Royal Navy veteran, 94, 13 times between five hospitals in the final weeks of his life A 94-year-old Second World War veteran was made to move between hospitals 13 times in the final 10 weeks of his life, his family have revealed as they criticised his care.

Reg Thompson was first admitted to the Leicester Royal Infirmary after he fell at home on December 21 last year. He died at Kettering General Hospital on March 2.

During the 10 weeks between those dates, he spent time at five different hospitals on 11 different wards - some for just a matter of hours. The Daily Telegraph
