Family fear 'another whitewash' from review into North East Ambulance Service 'cover-ups'

Last week Dame Marianne Griffiths - former chief executive of the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust - was announced as leading the review. She retired from her role leading the south coast trust in 2021.

The review comes in light of allegations raised by whistleblowers claiming that NEAS was failing to disclose key information to coroners. It has been alleged that this amounts to "covering-up" errors.
