Violation Description: Mrs B complains North East Care Homes' Stainton Lodge Care Centre provided incomplete information to the NHS about her father's medical circumstances resulting in a delay in him receiving correct medical treatment and his untimely death. It did not tell an out of hours GP that her father was taking antibiotics for a suspected water infection. We cannot say that caused his death. Nevertheless, North East Care Homes needs to apologise and pay financial redress for the distress it has caused.
