"Poor communication"

About: Whiston Hospital / Urology

(as a relative),

While my mum was in the care of Whiston Hospital I was consistently miss informed of my mums progress by the nursing staff. I was never comfortable with how she was being looked after throughout her stay. I continually questioned the treatment or rather lack of it, but my concerns were dismissed as unfounded. The doctors failed to treat my one of my mums conditions which I believe resulted in her losing her life. The hospital let my mum down and as a result has left four children without our mum, and our children without their grandmother.

I felt shocked, saddened and disgusted.
