The brother of a woman who died after routine treatment at an NHS surgical clinic run by a building firm has called for the centre to be closed after an investigation found that, at a crucial moment, it did not have a ventilator available.
Anita Mansi, who was 86, died last summer from multiple organ failure two days after a knee operation at the controversial Surgicentre, an NHS service in Hertfordshire run by Carillion, formerly part of Tarmac. She had previously been in good health. Hers was one of three deaths that prompted an independent investigation before Christmas into the care of four patients, including one who survived treatment at the Surgicentre.
