North East Ambulance Service will be investigated "more thoroughly" a Government minister confirmed in the Commons this afternoon.
Health Minister Maria Caulfied told MPs she was “horrified” to read claims the ambulance trust covered up evidence about deaths linked to mistakes made by paramedics in The Sunday Times.
The newspaper reported concerns were raised about more than 90 cases, with the paper saying whistleblowers believed the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) blocked relatives from knowing the full details about how their loved ones died in 2018 and 2019.
