Didn't say that did I. I am suing the NHS, twice, retraining would not have re-corrected what happened to me.
Just sometimes people find will people the people concerned clam up and saying sorry in the eyes of a solicitor is admitting an error.0 -

Read the O/P's previous posts, I read them on Saturday.
The O/P of course would not be able to claim anything, not a penny, the claim / complaint if one exists is not for the O/P but for the injured party .. .. her Mother.Disclaimer : Everything I write on this forum is my opinion.

I see. Sorry. I know about the reluctance of people in the NHS to say sorry, but in my experience they stop talking even before a complaint is brought! -- my mother had a bad fall in a hospital and never really recovered from it; a nurse on duty at the time, who witnessed the fall, disappeared, "rotated" to a different ward, and the notes said "Fall. No witnesses to fall", and so on... . So I'm not that convinced it makes that much of a difference.
I lodged a complaint about my mother's treatment, that's common practice, and accepted. I did it with my mother's consent, indeed, it was what she wanted. (A lawyer told me I wouldn't get anywhere with a legal case, which would have been "her" case, yes. I didn't have the money to ask another lawyers and try to take it further.) Of course I didn't really get anywhere...The O/P of course would not be able to claim anything, not a penny, the claim / complaint if one exists is not for the O/P but for the injured party .. .. her Mother.
I haven't read the OP's previous posts -- I'll take a look.
OP, you should, as other posters here have said, first complain, using the hospital's complaints procedure.0
