Delays in Emergency Care is Causing Patients to Die Early

An NHS consultant has told Good Morning Britain that patients are dying earlier than they should as a result of delays in receiving emergency care. Almost 19,000 patients waited in A&E for three days last year, according to figures obtained by Channel Four's Dispatches.

Tim's son Daniel waited for 18 hours in A&E on a hard chair with symptoms of sepsis and believes if he hadn’t kicked up such a fuss his son would have died.
