A student died after being told "you sound like you're feeling a bit sorry for yourself" by NHS 111. David Nash, 26, passed away following four "shambolic" calls with NHS 111 after needing an urgent in-person consultation with a healthcare professional.
Abigail Combes, assistant coroner, read a statement from GP expert Alastair Bint during the inquest. Dr Bint had told the hearing in Wakefield that a nurse should have organised an urgent in-patient appointment after Mr Nash’s fourth phone consultation. Dr Bint claims that the symptoms the 26-year-old presented including fever, neck stiffness and night-time headaches were "red flags". He concluded that the nurse's diagnosis of a flu-like virus was "not safe".
Seems we’re only part of the UK when it suits them to cover up England’s failures … shame on you record
England. Not Scotland.
