The published notice did not contain enough detail to classify a single root cause.
What happened
UHDB failed to have adequate processes in place, especially when processing special category data, which resulted in referrals for out-patients’ appointments not being processed in a timely manner. In some cases, this led to delays of up to two years before medical treatment was arranged.
