A caring dad died on Christmas Eve despite making repeated 999 calls begging for help. Iqbal Rahman, 58, felt “nobody was coming to help him” as his health deteriorated, his daughter has said.
Iqbal died just hours before Christmas despite the family making three 999 calls asking for help. Minnie, 34, has refused to blame NHS staff, saying: “The Government created this situation."
The Mirror reports that the family raised the alarm at around 7.07pm after the dad and grandfather took ill. West Midlands Ambulance Service initially triaged Iqbal as a category 5 case, requiring a callback with advice from a paramedic or nurse.
