A coroner has warned that more lives could be at risk following repeated failings in the care of a woman who died in hospital.
The coroner told the trust's head of nursing, Nicola Robinson, that he was concerned that despite being two years since 92-year-old Peggy, from Burnley, died, sufficient steps have not been taken to change and improve processes. The two-day inquest heard from whistle-blower Dr Fozia Shah who said she had been reporting her concerns about Pendle Community Hospital for three years before Peggy's death.
When she was asked when she started flagging up issues to her superiors the doctor said: "Ever since I worked there. My concerns have been regarding medical staffing. "I escalated it because due to the under-staffing things were getting missed," Dr Shah added. "If had been escalated we would have done more tests.
