    Report summary

    Graham Keith Hollis, who had dementia and increasing frailty, developed swallowing difficulties and experienced coughing and choking episodes while being fed under an agreed modified-diet plan. He was admitted to hospital with aspiration pneumonia and died on 14 August 2025. The principal concern was that staffing shortages prevented a further face-to-face Speech and Language Therapy assessment, resulting in a best-interests decision to feed him at risk without specialist assessment; safeguards relating to his diet and medical review were also not consistently followed.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Unavailability of alternative provision when Speech and Language Therapy assessment is absent

    Wider context from the report

    “The Speech and Language Therapy team advised the care home that, due to current staffing levels, the service was unable to undertake assessments of care homes residents, and that this issue had been escalated to the Integrated Care Board. This was the position in July 2025, and the evidence confirmed that it remained unchanged at the time of the inquest in June 2026. In the absence of a SALT face to face assessment and with no alternative provision available, a best interests meeting was convened involving the care home manager, the social worker, the GP Surgery’s care coordinator, and the deceased’s daughter. It was agreed that the deceased would be fed with accepted risk on a Level 5 diet without specialist assessment. ”
