The coroner’s concerns
A call to the London Ambulance Service regarding a man who had been unconscious did not prompt a red prioritisation. You will remember that I wrote to you on 27 May 2015, regarding the assumption made by an LAS EMD that a child was asleep but rousable, when in fact the little boy was likely to have been unconscious. I am extremely concerned that a theme may be emerging in the handling by LAS of calls regarding unconscious patients. 2
