In July 2014 two patients “suffered potentially serious harm” from overdoses of an antibiotic into their eyes and four others showed symptoms more than six weeks afterwards. 19 patients in total received overdoses during surgery at Mount Stuart hospital, which was subcontracted by South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to help keep waiting times down. Ramsay said the mistake in its minor surgical unit was the result “of both process failure and human error”.[1]
