Patients suffered 'severe harm' after NHS hospital lost track of them

Patients suffered 'severe harm' after NHS hospital lost track of them Patients suffered “severe harm” after a hospital lost track of its waiting lists, a report has found.

St George’s Hospitals Foundation trust has reviewed millions of files after discovering that its records did not determine whether patients had completed treatment or were in need of further checks.

As a result, a clinical harm review examined 646 cases in detail - and has now found that 15 patients have been found to have suffered “severe harm” - meaning “permanent or long-term” damage - with a further four suffering moderate harm. The Daily Telegraph
