The mother of a young woman who died in hospital is challenging the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman (PHSO) in the High Court.

Irene Morris has been trying for more than three years to obtain her late daughter's medical records.

The Ombudsman, which investigates NHS complaints, said it had attempted to settle the case out of court.

Its service was criticised recently by the Patients Association for "failing families".

Alexis Morris was a bowel cancer patient who had long stays at St Thomas' Hospital in London over a six-year period.
