Summary

Mr C complained that his pain medication had been stopped and said that he suffered significant pain as a result.

We took independent advice from a GP. We found that the decision to stop Mr C's pain medication was reasonable and he was reasonably followed up with, and offered appropriate alternatives, for his pain. Therefore, we did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
