A man died of sepsis in Auckland Hospital after treatment delays - despite his daughter raising concerns he was deteriorating

Open Justice reports the man in his 50s, died just over a week after getting a stem cell transplant for blood cancer in 2020.

The Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner says opportunities were missed to recognise his decline and escalate his care

Vanessa Caldwell says staff failed to listen to his family - and he was told he was dying with no support person present.

Health New Zealand has unreservedly apologised - and says it has made wide-ranging improvements.
