A dad died weeks after being given ten times the correct dose of medication by a carer, however a coroner could not determine this caused his death.
David Fitton died in hospital ten weeks after he was given the incorrect dose of a dementia drug at Belong care home in Wigan in June 2019. The 76-year-old was receiving respite care while his wife Jennifer underwent surgery, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Mr Fitton was taken to hospital three days into his stay after a carer at the home "accidentally" gave him the wrong dose of his medication. Doctors assessed the dad-of-two and grandfather-of-five and was later discharged.
