A heartbroken daughter has hit out over her mother's death during the first Covid lockdown after discovering hospital staff put a "Do Not Resuscitate" order on her without a physical examination due to a shortage of PPE.
The startling revelation of what was apparently routine practice came as Michelle Rumball sought answers over why the decision not to intervene in her mum's ultimate death was made by medical staff.
Michelle, 50, last saw her mum Violet Partington, 78, on April 8, 2020, when she was rushed to Northwick Hospital in an ambulance struggling to breathe.
