Kettering hospital 'sorry' over failure to spot broken neck A hospital failed to spot an 86-year-old woman had a broken neck following a fall at a nursing home, a review has revealed.
The woman, referred to as Mrs Webster in the Northamptonshire Safeguarding Adults Review, was admitted to Kettering General Hospital in 2017.
She was transferred to another hospital but the correct CT scans were not passed on so the break was missed.
She was later re-admitted to Kettering hospital where she died.
