Actually, he was found dead by our family.

He was in an acute cardiac unit, had been left unmonitored in the hospital of Clinical Excellence.

Papworth NHS Trust is not compelled by the laws of this land to record of father as a statistic [see email from the Department of Health below].

2. Dr MC Petch
3. Mr Wells.
4. Mr Robert Bonser
5. Dr Francisco Leyva Leon...."

I've got no cheap shots to take.

Some things are beyond satire.

  1. A tip: Have a look at who was in charge of the PCT responsible for Papworth at the time.

  2. I have just been put under the care of Dr Leyva Leon, how worrying.
