Last updated: 21/02/2025
Professor Stuart Walker, University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust, Hospital Managing Director, said: “We remain deeply sorry that Ben died whilst in our care in 2015, and for how we communicated with Ben's family following his death.
“We have undertaken significant learning and reflection in the ten years since then. This learning is outlined in the independent assurance review commissioned by the Trust, which provided assurance to the Assistant Coroner that all of that learning has been embedded.
“We accept the conclusion of the Assistant Coroner, and I would again like to acknowledge the distress experienced by Ben’s family.”
