On 22/1/13 I opened an inquest into the death of Lillian Rose Robinson

Home for intermediary care. On 27/10/12 she was transferred to Upper
Halliford nursing home where she was found to have deteriorated and
she succumbed and died from bronchopneumonia on 28/12/12.
5 CORONER’S CONCERNS
During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed a matter that gave
rise to concern and which, in my opinion, there is a risk that future deaths
could occur by reason thereof unless action is taken.
The MATTER OF CONCERN is as follows. –
RT3848 1
 Lack of communication between hospital and home re mental
capacity assessment
 Unqualified medical carers evaluating the appropriateness of
capacity in patients with mild/moderate dementia
 Poor note taking and continuity of patient care notes
At the inquest I heard very helpful evidence from I
would be obliged if you could confirm that steps have been taken to
address these concerns.
6 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN
In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I
believe that Surrey County Council have the power to take such action.
