Mr A was referred to the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit (SLTU) in Edinburgh by his Consultant in Glasgow, for assessment for inclusion on the transplant list but was not considered suitable for inclusion. Mr A's uncle sought to challenge this decision and obtain a second opinion. This took several months and unfortunately Mr A died before a reassessment was possible. Mr C complained that Mr A had not received adequate care or proper assessment.
