Hospital investigation

Trying to be vague so as not to out me!

My DH had a routine procedure before Christmas which he recovered well from. A repeat procedure was carried out which led to an infection and abscess and ultimately the removal of of the infected tissue.

The hospital undertook a full investigation and has decided on 5 changes in procedure in direct relation to D's procedure. This was all explained to us in a meeting at the beginning of last month. Today we finally received a letter outlining the meeting.

However...

The loss of the affected tissue part was NOT directly mentioned in any of the 5 pages.

The letter reads to be very wishy washy and seems in complete contrast to our meeting which we took as a 'hands up this was all our fault'.

We have right to reply to this letter to make amendments. My question/s is/are are we better off going to a solicitor to ask them what we should get the hospital to write? Write our ammendments then go to the solicitor? Or just get a solicitor to write to the hospital?
