Patients dying due to poor care, 'shocking' NHS report finds
'Supervision of care and patient monitoring were commonly inadequate'
Patients who require emergency oxygen treatment in hospital are dying unnecessarily because of the poor care they receive, with an NHS inquiry calling its own findings “shocking”.
One in three patients requiring emergency help with their breathing are dying, with staff and equipment shortages contributing to this poor outcome, the report revealed.
By contrast, only 18 per cent of patients receiving the treatment in Spain die each year while just ten per cent of French cases end in death.
