Full decision

Summary

Ms C complained that the physiotherapy treatment she had received at Lorn and Islands Hospital had been unreasonable, inappropriate and had caused her injury.

We took independent advice from a physiotherapist. We found that there was no evidence that the assessment or physiotherapy treatment Ms C received had been unreasonable or inappropriate. Ms C had given consent to all of the treatments she received. We were also satisfied that the board had tried to address her concerns and to explain the reasons for the treatment she had received. In addition, they had produced an information leaflet for patients about the nature and range of treatment options available. Therefore, we did not uphold Ms C’s complaint.
