Disabled woman’s cause of death after routine operation was partly from neglect
27 April 2021 | News
A woman with learning disabilities died after a routine eye operation from causes which in part included malnutrition as a result of neglect, a coroner has ruled.
Laura Booth, who was 21, was admitted in September 2016 to the Royal Hallamshire hospital in Sheffield. She died on 19 October.
Laura’s mother, Patricia Booth, told the inquest that her daughter stopped eating shortly after she was admitted to hospital, and that doctors ignored her attempts to communicate.
She said she told the doctors: “This isn’t right, she can’t survive on no food.”
