Hospital bosses have been accused of launching a witch hunt to find a whistleblower who told a widower about blunders in the treatment his wife received.
The row emerged as an inquest began into the death of Susan Warby who died five weeks after bowel surgery.
The 57-year-old died at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, in heath secretary Matt Hancocks constituency, on 30 August 2018 after a series of complications in her treatment.
Her family received an anonymous letter after her death highlighting errors in her surgery, the inquest in Ipswich heard, and both Suffolk Police and the hospital launched investigations.
These investigations confirmed that there had been issues around an arterial line fitted to Ms Warby during surgery, Suffolks senior coroner Nigel Parsley said.
