A review into alleged ambulance service "cover-ups" is "a complete whitewash" and doesn't answer key questions, said the parents of a teenager who was failed by the paramedic who was first on the scene of her death.
Dame Marianne Griffiths - who formerly led the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust - was commissioned to carry out a review of allegations against North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) that key documents relating to tragic cases where patients died were not shared with coroners in a timely fashion or in some cases even altered.
The death of Quinn Evie Milburn-Beadle in December 2018 is one of the most high-profile cases involved. In that case, the investigation report was first altered and not disclosed to the coroner in a timely fashion. While Dame Marianne's review has reaffirmed this should not have happened, both Quinn Evie's parents and whistleblower Paul Calvert feel that the key question - why were documents altered - remains unanswered.
