Maria Repanos of Hudgell Solicitors, representing Amy and her mother, said: “The findings of the review into Amy’s case are deeply concerning and highlight extremely serious shortcomings.<\/p>\n

“A wide-scale public health matter of such gravity requires the full public scrutiny at a statutory inquiry.”<\/p>\n

A DOH spokesperson said: “Our sympathies are with Amy and all families affected by this deeply distressing situation”<\/p>\n

They said the Verita report, external<\/a> had already made “several recommendations”, adding: “We expect the trust to deliver every recommendation and provide strong support for families. Independent bodies will oversee this to ensure lessons are learned and that this can never happen again.”<\/p>\n

The DOH said a further independent clinical review should report next year and that NHS England was reviewing governance around high-complexity, low-volume orthopaedic and spinal surgery services.<\/p>\n

Ms Stohr, through her lawyers, did not respond to the BBC’s questions about Amy’s case, but had previously said: “I always strive to provide the highest standards of care to all my patients.<\/p>\n

“I am cooperating fully with the trust investigation, and it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”<\/p>\n

CUH said patients and families concerned about their care could call a freephone helpline on 0808 175 6331.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maria Repanos of Hudgell Solicitors, representing Amy and her mother, said: “The findings of the review into Amy’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-279080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
