THE law firm behind more than 200 clinical negligence cases against failing hospitals is coming to Colchester.

Leigh Day represented hundreds of patients with grievances following the Mid-Staffordshire Hospital crisis, in 2013.

Health lawyer Emma Jones, who specialises in clinical negligence and human rights cases, is already looking into three cases against Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust.

Now, in light of the major incident declared at the Turner Road hospital, she is asking for patients or family of patients who believe they have experienced the problems at the hospital.

Mrs Jones said: β€œIn my experience, if more people make their voices heard, the trust has to pay attention.”

The public meeting will be held at Firstsite on Tuesday, December 16, between 12pm and 7pm.
