The family of a care worker who could have been saved following the Manchester Arena bombing has refused to accept an apology from the senior paramedic on the night of the attack
for 47 minutes before police helped Mr Blake carry him out on an advertising hoarding because paramedics had not arrived.The police officers got stuck at the top of a set of stairs but a senior paramedic suggested they"blanket him up and leave him".
He was still talking and begging"please don't let me die" until suffering a heart attack as he was wheeled to an ambulance, an hour and 16 minutes after the blast. But Mr Atkinson's family said:"We cannot accept this apology. Actions speak louder than words, and we wait to see what actions are taken to ensure this never happens again.""Ronald Blake in particular is a hero. Hearing about the kindness of strangers on the night has offered us a small glimmer of hope in our darkest moments.
