Mr. Galbraith

A draft of the Independent Audit Panel report commissioned by Kirkcaldy Acute Hospital NHS Trust and Fife Health Board was received by them on 9 February 1998. I understand that the final report is likely to be published within the next 2–3 weeks. The Trust and Board have indicated that all 34 families who submitted written complaints will receive a copy of the report.
