ITV News published this video item, entitled “Man whose mum died waiting for ambulance has ‘no hope for change’ in NHS | ITV News” – below is their description.
A son whose mother died while waiting almost an hour for an ambulance after making seven 999 calls has told ITV News he is “disgusted” by Boris Johnson’s response to his mother’s case but has “no hope for change” in the NHS.
Akshay Patel was woken in the middle of the night by his mum, Bina, who was struggling to breathe at their home in Ashton-under-Lyne, Tameside on October 11.
He desperately tried to keep his 56-year-old mother – who had diabetes but no other long-term health conditions – alive while he repeatedly called for an ambulance as her condition deteriorated and she screamed: “I’m dying, hurry up.”
But by the time paramedics finally arrived at their home almost an hour later, the mother-of-two had no pulse.
