Full decision

Summary

Mrs C complained to us about the care and treatment her husband (Mr A) had received from the board's evening district nursing service. Mrs C contacted us before we completed our investigation to say that she no longer wished to pursue the complaint, as the circumstances had changed. As such, we did not reach a decision on Mrs C's complaint.
