Overview
- The family’s claim against Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is underway with solicitor Rachel Donovan of JF Law.
- A photo on Tracey McGrann’s iPhone of her Arrowe Park A&E ECG read “moderate T‑wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia,” according to relatives.
- They allege the ECG was not electronically signed and that she was discharged, with no copy of the result retained by the hospital.
- An inquest ruled she died of ischemic heart disease; the coroner said ECGs may not show IHD unless symptoms are present during testing.
- The trust says incidents are investigated under national NHS processes and with NHS Resolution where appropriate, as FOI data shows £1.2bn paid for misdiagnosis claims since 2019/20.
