A CORONER has criticised Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital for missing an X-ray which could have led to an earlier cancer diagnosis for a man who sadly died last year. Maurice Davison, known as Mo, from Hartley Wintney died at home on September 20, 2020, from a cancer called mesothelioma, caused by asbestos exposure, an inquest was told today (April 15). Winchester Coroner’s Court heard that the retired builder, 83, was admitted to Basingstoke hospital in early 2020, and X-rays were done, which were never reviewed ahead of his discharge. Area coroner Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp said: “The problem came because the person who ordered the x-ray did not review it.
