The family of Giuseppe Ulleri believe that he went 10 days without being fed during his stay.
A man with Down’s Syndrome died days after his family had raised concerns at a hospital where he was being treated following a fall, an inquest has heard.
The family of Giuseppe Ulleri believe that he went 10 days without being fed during his stay at Manchester Royal Infirmary, where he died from pneumonia after struggling to ingest food through a tube, jurors were told Although initial scans taken at Manchester Royal Infirmary that day did not show any significant injuries, he was readmitted the next day after volunteers at L’Arche grew concerned about difficulties he appeared to have in walking and swallowing.The inquest at Manchester Coroner’s Court heard how an X-ray and CT scan revealed fractures to the vertebrae in his neck, right hip and right wrist.
Ms Davies explained: ‘Joe had long periods of time when he had no nutritional support when he stayed in hospital, and for a long period the only nutrition he had was that 24 hours when the tube was in place.’
