“On behalf of MKUH I would like to say how deeply sorry I am for Brian’s death. This inquest has been harrowing, especially so for Brian’s mother and other family members to whom I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences.

“The inquest jury has today returned a detailed set of findings. We respect and accept the conclusion the jury has reached, and the comments made by HM Coroner.

“We have learnt a great deal and changed a great deal since Brian’s death to prevent anything similar from happening again. Brian’s death will continue to shape practice at MKUH. His memory will continue to define what we do and how we work to provide patients with the safest, best care we can deliver.”
