Thousands of dying patients are being let down by poor end-of-life care provision, the organisation that makes final decisions about NHS complaints in England has said.
One example, said the ombudsman, was a patient who had suffered 14 unnecessary and painful attempts to have a drip reinserted during his final hours.
It investigated more than 300 complaints, upholding most of them.
The government said improving end-of-life care was a priority.
