Mr Ironmonger at 75 years old died from being scalded in a bath. Another gentleman Kevin Clarke was scalded and sent to hospital but is now home again. What pain and misery both men could have been spared. A member of Birmingham City Council commented that these cases where completely avoidable, all Midland Heart would have needed to do was to install a thermostatic control system in the independant living accommodation. They have now done this but if they had done the appropriate risk assessments earlier Mr Ironmonger may still be alive and Mr Clarke could have been spared the intense pain of scalding, and Midlands Heart could have saved more than £100,000 plus other possible costs like increased insurances, court costs, loss of reputation, and the time and money this whole thing has cost them.

I would like to help others avoid these consequences.
