They finally say they're sorry - an apology for a death in psych ward

It took four years, but a british woman has won a battle for an apology from health trust bosses after her brother's death. They admitted failing to properly care for Reginald Varney, who died on a psychiatric ward run by Notts Healthcare NHS Trust at the Queen's Medical Centre. The 51-year-old was being treated for manic depression but died of heart failure 48 hours after being admitted. Mr Varney's sister, Christine Bradshaw, 51, of Trowell Park, believed he had not been properly cared for. She said staff did not contact her to say her brother was seriously ill and he died alone with no family to comfort him. Mrs Bradshaw had asked for an independent inquiry but was refused.
