Can only find online link to the Daily Mail but this isn't the first time this has happened and I recall a similar case a few months ago (though can't find it).
coroner blasts medical staff
I had this too with something that happened to me. When I went to lodge a complaint, i was told it would get nowhere because when they went to look at the medical records, they had been 'misplaced'. Mine wasn't even a serious issue.
I wish I could find the other story (also related to a birth and I think the mother dying and midwives/nurses/doctors mysteriously misplacing the evidence).
Surely we can't have a health system where this is allowed to happen? I would love to know if these people are losing the evidence themselves or being encouraged to by their health trusts because of the fear of payouts for negligence.

AIBU?
To think that medical staff 'losing' notes in cases of medical negligence should be punished in some way?
