Andrew Watson's family is calling for a public inquiry into the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) after he died in 2019 following a delay in receiving paramedic care. An internal report found that Mr. Watson's condition could have been treatable if an ambulance had arrived sooner, but full details of his care were not shared with his family or the coroner.
An ambulance trust has apologised for the distress caused to the family of a man who died after suffering breathing difficulties.
An internal report by the North East Ambulance Service found the 32-year-old's condition could have been treatable if an ambulance had arrived sooner, but full details of his care were not originally shared with his family or the coroner. His sister Rachel Turnbull said her older brother had been "loving and caring" and she had memories of him helping her with her homework and enjoying practical jokes."We're a family that's broken because we know that Andrew should still be here with us," she added.
