Previous Update - December 2021

RQIA acknowledges that issues raised in relation to this our review of the records of deceased patients of Dr Watt may prove painful for families and may further impact on their grief and sorrow.  We have identified a number of organisations who can offer support, should that be of benefit.  For further information, please contact our Family Liaison Team.

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has advised that upon completion of the Expert Review, it will take several months to prepare the reports and individual case summaries. We will work with the RCP to ensure the reports are completed and provided as soon as is possible.  We will also keep in regular contact with affected families regarding the expected timescales as they become clearer.
