Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to provide (a) support and (b) compensation to families who have been bereaved due to slow ambulance response times.
This question was answered on 19th May 2022
All National Health Service providers have a complaints process to support families who may have concerns regarding NHS services. Patients who believe that their care was negligent can bring a legal claim for compensation. Where negligence is established, the Government supports patients’ entitlement to compensation.
