A rising number of British patients are dying in ambulances outside hospitals while waiting to be offloaded to emergency services, the ambulance association’s bombshell report says
Many people in the UK have died in the back of ambulance cars while waiting to be handed over to hospitals' accident and emergency services.published by the country's ambulance association, the country's A&E units are overworked and cannot cope with the heavy patient in-flow.
12,000 of 160,000 people, who had waited for long hours to be offloaded to A&E, have been suffering from “severe harm” caused by the delay. Under such critical circumstances, A&E departments cannot discharge patients who are in better condition and fit to leave, which further deepens the crisis. The report said: “When very sick patients arrive at hospital and then have to wait an excessive time for handover to emergency department clinicians to receive assessment and definitive care, it is entirely predictable and almost inevitable that some level of harm will arise.
“Regardless of whether a death may have been an inevitable outcome, this is not the level of care or experience we would wish for anyone in their last moments. Any form or level of harm is not acceptable.”
