Man bled to death after eight-hour ambulance wait, coroner says
A sheltered housing resident bled to death after an eight-hour ambulance wait that was partly caused by a faulty triage system, a coroner has said.Dorset coroner Brendan Allen said the ambulance service dispatch system could not detect the potential severity of the bleed.Mr Adams' brother Paul said the death was a "callous waste of a life".
"Trusted organisations, upon whom people rely in dire need, seemed merely to follow procedures and tick boxes rather than use their own judgement when the situation calls for it."The ambulance wait "more than minimally contributed to the death", the coroner said However, the category three response was not changed because Mr Adams was still conscious and the wound did not "spurt or pour blood", the coroner said.Mr Allen said the ambulance dispatch algorithm did not allow for treatment delays or for the effect of Mr Adams' blood clot medication.
Magna Housing, which operates Vernons Court, said in a statement the safety of residents was its top priority.
