Available for over a year
Naj Modak speaks to Susan Johnson from Scarborough. In March 2023, Bridlington Hospital staff told Susan that according to their records she had been dead for four months. The muddle meant the 62-year-old's carer's allowance for looking after her disabled husband Bob briefly stopped. NHS England said it was aware of an issue involving an incorrect civil death registration later rectified by the patient's GP.
