Kathleen Blank's have been distressed since a string of stressful incidents
A woman has said her mother's hair was 'butchered' without the family's permission after the hospital failed to notice her neck was broken. Police are now investigating the claims made by Lorraine Rothwell, who says her 79-year-old mum is 'locked in a nightmare'.
It took two days before the hospital was able to place Kathleen on a hospital ward - she spentg 37 hours of the wait in the Resus unit. During this waiting period, Lorraine says a consultant contacted her and said her mum's condition had 'stabilised'. "Needless to say, something like this goes beyond just an apology especially when you consider my poor mum was lying around for two days with a broken neck and no support." Kathleen is still in hospital after being re-admitted and experienced a few weeks of relative calm.
Lorraine has since contacted Merseyside Police and lodged a formal complaint. Police have now confirmed they are investigating the report and 'enquiries are being undertaken' to understand the circumstances.
