Campaigners hold memorial for loved ones outside Conservative HQ

By | Wed 3rd July 2024 - 11:48 am

Yesterday, campaigners, including friend of this site Mathew Hulbert, held a vigil outside Conservative HQ to remember their loved ones who had died while waiting for emergency treatment.

You may remember that Mathew’s mum Jackie died in July 2022 after an 11 hour wait for an ambulance.  Mathew’s courage in speaking out about their ordeal since then has been incredible.

Yesterday,  he took part in this video explaining why they were there.

They also spoke to The Mirror:

Mathew was told that ambulances on that day were backed up outside Leicester Royal Infirmary, unable to drop patients off because of lack of beds. Mathew said: “This memorial bench is in memory of my dear mum and the thousands of others who have died because emergency care has not responded as it should in their hour of greatest need.
