Two so-called "never events" occurred in a Devon hospital last month, it has emerged.
In one of the events, at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, a patient received a transfusion of the wrong blood type, sources confirmed.
The other involved a tube being fed into a patient's heart unnecessarily.
Hospital managers confirmed they were investigating how the two incidents happened and said providing safe care was their "top priority".
