As this case has just been brought to my attention it will now be handled by my Department in line with the Patient Safety Protocol which was adopted in September 2008.

The protocol deals with correspondence relating to issues of patient safety from patients, doctors, health service staff and solicitors. It is managed by the Chief Medical Officer on my behalf, given that a medical assessment is required, if any potential safety issue emerges.
