The public services ombudsman has raised concerns over clinical record keeping at Hywel Dda Health Board.

It comes as a report found staff at Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth, falsified a diabetic man's records after he died.

Peter Tyndall said he had seen "several" other instances where records had been amended.

Hywel Dda Health Board has apologised to the 80-year-old's family and says it accepts the findings of that report.

Mr Tyndall upheld a complaint by the man's daughter about the care offered and the "inadequate" response to her complaint.

He backed the account given by the woman, referred to as Ms R, after her father was admitted in 2008.
