Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on NHS Website. I am very sorry to hear that your brother in law has experienced a problem with his abdomen drain whilst an inpatient at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital.
We would encourage you to contact our East Lancashire Hospitals Trust Customer Relations team on 01254 733700 or complaints@elht.nhs.uk to provide more information including the ward so that we can investigate why this has happened. We are committed to improving future services and this would help us to make appropriate changes.
Once again please accept our apologies for your experience and the upset it is causing.
Kind regards
Sarah Ridehalgh
