Dear tigermum

I am so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your son.

I understand what a difficult time that this must be for you and the family but if, and when, you feel ready, I would like to have more details so that I can look into this on your behalf. You can contact me on 01463 704977 or emead@nhs.net

NHS Highland now rarely does not share the outcome of investigations with families, so I can only think that there must be something unusual here, and I am very sorry that you feel that important information is being kept from you.

You also have every right to complain, and I would be happy to help you to make your concerns know so that we can get the explanation that you need.

I do hope that you will be able to get in touch sometime soon.
