Full decision

Summary

Miss C complained that doctors at her GP practice had failed to refer her for appropriate tests in order to diagnose a tumour in her bowel.

After taking independent advice on this case from a GP adviser, we did not uphold Miss C's complaint. The advice we received was that the appropriate guidance had been followed and that there had been no delay in referring Miss C for further investigations.
