Prof McMahon's wife, Claire McMahon, said: "I and my family would like to express our extreme disappointment, distress and sadness at what happened especially within the trust that he'd worked for many years." She added: "Ray devoted his whole life to the NHS but, as a patient, he was failed by Wythenshawe hospital. "To know that both system and individual failures caused his death is devastating. Our disappointment extends to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust as an organisation." Dr Munshi said the trust "wished again to extend our deepest condolences to Prof McMahon's family, friends and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time". He added the trust had undertaken a thorough investigation and said it would review "carefully" the coroner's conclusion. Dr Munshi also said Prof McMahon was "a valued member of our staff for many years" and recognised "the significant contributions he made to the health service".
