A review into lung disease care at St Helier Hospital found that outdated and incorrect treatment by Dr Veronica Varney caused significant harm to patients, including contributing to three premature deaths. The hospital trust apologised and began reviewing more than 200 cases, including that of Mark Lunn, whose family is seeking accountability and transparency. Investigators from the Royal College of Physicians reported widespread failures, while families and legal advocates raised concerns about the independence of ongoing investigations. Dr Varney is under investigation by the General Medical Council.
