Julie Crossley, a medical injury lawyer at Ashton KCJ, comments: "This highlights concerns about the lack of pre operative checks and insufficient use of critical care facilities after surgery. It is worrying that out of 20,000 cases, 43% received poor or inadequate treatment. At Ashton KCJ we are frequently contacted by patients and their families concerning inadequate care, being sent to the wrong ward, failure to consent properly and being discharged too early".
