A pensioner who died in hospital was too weak to fight an infection because staff accidentally starved her for ten days, her heartbroken family has claimed.
Medics forgot to properly attach a feeding tube to Joan Wood, 83, who served as a member of the Women?s Land Army in Word War Two, an inquest heard.
Mrs Wood?s daughter Lori, 52, criticised the standard of care at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.
