Monday, 5 July 2021, 2:08 pm Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner Kevin Allan today released a report finding a district health board in breach of the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights (the Code) for failures in its care of a woman with an ongoing dental infection. Following an unsuccessful root canal treatment, the woman went to the Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) emergency department with facial swelling and worsening pain. Her tooth was extracted and she was admitted to the emergency department observation unit overnight before being discharged. She was given antibiotics and a follow-up appointment was arranged.
