    Report summary

    John Lott underwent surgery to form a defunctioning ileostomy and subsequently became seriously unwell, including inadequately treated hypoglycaemia, myocardial ischaemia and infarction. He died on 8 November 2020 after two occasions when transfer from the private hospital to an NHS hospital with appropriate critical care facilities was considered necessary but did not occur. Concerns included missed transfer opportunities, inadequate management of hypoglycaemia, and a lack of contact with the on-call anaesthetist when the consultant was unavailable.
