    Report summary

    Peter Moran, who lived alone with a care plan and had dementia and limited mobility, died in hospital after a cooker grill was left alight and a subsequent fire-related incident caused smoke inhalation. The concerns were that carers had been instructed to switch off appliances and remove cooker knobs, but the cooker had not been properly turned off and removing the knobs did not appear to be an appropriate way to make the appliance safe.
