Ms Dack, from Melton, Leics, ended up having an urgent operation when her condition deteriorated but she developed sepsis and died after the procedure, an inquest heard.
A mother who died after a planned surgery was cancelled three times would have survived had she been treated earlier, a coroner had said.
In a Prevention of Future Deaths report Mrs Hocking said she fears 'this issue will happen again, and further deaths may occur'. The report goes on to say that a consultant had planned to operate Ms Dack the following day but this wasn't communicated clearly and she was discharged and told to return for elective surgery as previously planned on May 17.
