Dear Dartford and Gravesham NHS trust,
I am making a Freedom of Information request for the following information:
Please advise how many complaints there have been from bereaved families of patients who contracted SARS-CoV2 (Coronavirus/Covid-19) whilst in the hospital (hospital acquired/nosocomial) and died.
Please advise how many complaints there have been from patients themselves who contracted SARS-CoV2 (Coronavirus/Covid-19) whilst in the hospital (hospital acquired/nosocomial) and survived?
How many of those complaints are outstanding and how many have been closed?
How many of those complaints have resulted in legal action?
Thanks in anticipation of your help in this matter.
