THE daughter of a woman, who died after routine surgery went drastically wrong, is calling for an inquiry.

Linda Wilson, whose mother Moreen Goring, 79, of Ingol Head, died following a hip replacement, claims staff failed to react quick enough following the bungled operation.

Mrs Wilson, 44, who now lives in London, spoke out after the inquest on Thursday February 20 into her mother's death, where a verdict of misadventure was recorded.

The inquest heard how Mrs Goring suffered a tear in her artery during the operation on Monday December 30 at Chorley Hospital. The tear caused excessive bleeding which resulted, ultimately, in her death.

Mrs Goring, a former dinner lady at Fulwood High School, who suffered with arthritis, was admitted to Chorley Hospital just before New Year's Eve.

During the operation, which coroner Howard McCann described as a 'medical mishap', she lost 1,000ml of blood, twice what is expected in such procedures, and was taken to intensive care for a transfusion.

Surgeon Dr Jaysheel Mehtha told the court: "This was not normal, patients are usually taken to the recovery room. The anaesthetist was not happy as she had low blood pressure."

Dr Mehtha said he had requested ultra sound but it was not carried out.

When the torn artery was discovered, Mrs Goring underwent surgery and blood circulation was achieved. However she then bled excessively and died on Thursday January 2.

Dr Mark Sissons, consultant pathologist at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, said at the inquest that she died from multiple organ failure, as a result of a tear in her common artery.

Now her daughter Mrs Wilson wants a full inquiry.

Speaking afterwards, she said: "I am not happy with the verdict. I will be seeking advice from the Community Health Council and I've written a letter of complaint to the hospital about the treatment.

"I want a full inquiry. If action had been taken sooner it would've saved my mother's life."

A spokesman for the NHS Hospital Trust said: "The coroner recorded a verdict of misadventure and made no criticisms of the treatment provided to Mrs Goring at the Chorley & South Ribble Hospital.

"The trust wishes to express its sympathy to Mrs Goring's family on their sad loss."

Mrs Goring leaves a husband and Mrs Wilson, her only child.

Mrs Wilson added: "I didn't get the chance to speak to my mother before she went into hospital I just had to sit by her and watch her die."

She said: "My mother was a private person, but was well liked by her neighbours, she was one of the original residents here.

"She suffered with a lot of pain, but was always cheerful."
