An external expert brought in by the trust to review Nunn’s care found the injury could have been prevented. Parsley criticised Nunn’s care as “sub-optimal” but he concluded that it probably did not directly cause his death. In a statement it said: “We would like to reiterate our sincere sympathies to Mr Nunn’s family. We opened a serious incident investigation into Mr Nunn’s care after concerns were raised internally about aspects of his treatment. We informed Mr Nunn’s family of this the same day the serious incident was declared.”
