Dad 'abandoned and forgotten' after spending eight months in hospital

A dad felt "abandoned and forgotten" after his partner died and he spent eight months in hospital.

Paul Price, from Liverpool, was waiting with his partner Elaine McIver, 43, for his daughter Gabrielle, then 13, and her friend to come out of the Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017 at Manchester Arena. A homemade bomb, detonated by suicide bomber Salman Abedi, killed 22 people - including Elaine.

Elaine died instantly after suffering injuries to her chest. Paul sustained several injuries in the attack including severe burns, broken bones, loss of hearing and embedded shrapnel, which remain in his groin, pelvis and back.
