A grieving husband is desperate for answers after his wife died waiting 16 hours for an ambulance. Matthew Simpson believes his wife would still be alive if an ambulance or first responder had been dispatched when emergency services were first alerted.
The 47-year-old has lodged a complaint with Yorkshire Ambulance Service and said his and others’ waits showed the system was broken. A service spokesperson said they offered their sincere condolences to Mr Simpson and said they would contact him regarding his complaint.
It comes after Mrs Simpson, 54, died in Hull on Wednesday afternoon after being taken into Hull Royal Infirmary earlier that day. Mrs Simpson had myotonic dystrophy, a muscle-wasting disease, and her husband was her full-time carer, Hull Live reports.
