Summary
Ms C's daughter (Ms A) suffers from chronic back pain following an accident some years ago. Ms C complained on behalf of her daughter that the medical practice failed to do enough to provide her with appropriate treatment.
As part of our investigation, we took independent advice from a medical adviser. He considered Ms A's medical records, her medical history and the care and treatment provided by the practice. He said that the practice had provided an appropriate level of care and treatment, including tests and treatment options. Although Ms A's pain has not been resolved, the adviser took the view that the practice have taken appropriate steps to try and identify the underlying problem and to provide on-going treatment in order to minimise the pain Ms A is suffering.
