A health board has issued a statement apologising, after it released the wrong body to a bereaved family from a hospital mortuary for the second time in a month.

The error happened in November 2023, shortly before a similar incident was reported in December.

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board said “human error” was to blame for both incidents.

It said it a statement it was “utterly devastated” for the family involved.

News that the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran has again released the wrong body was described as “deeply worrying” by a local MS.

The kicker being, that this is the second time, not ever, but in a single month.

It's honestly absurd.
