Janet Lyon died from pneumonia
A 67-year-old woman died trying to get through to her GP surgery three hours after calling for an ambulance which was not sent.
Janet Lyon, from Leicestershire, was struggling to breathe on 27 December.
She was told to go to a walk-in centre or her GP by a 999 call handler after it was determined she had an urgent problem which was not life-threatening.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) apologised but found the 999 call was handled appropriately.
It added the service was experiencing “high demand” at the time.
Ms Lyon’s daughter Katie Keating put in a formal complaint to EMAS and said she was “enraged” at the response.

Here we have a classic example of Gooferment “service”. “We are too busy for you.”
Well that got rid of a pensioner and save the Gooferment lots of money. No mater that she “drowned” alone.
In a profit making enterprise, they’d have adequate staff or alternative arrangements. “Like you’re ambulatory and not a class 1 emergency, let’s call you a taxi to the ER.”
But no, politicians and bureaucrats have their own incentive structure and we ain’t in it.
Can you imagine a politician getting this response. I can’t.
Argh!
How does “We, The Sheeple” allow Gooferment into such important functions?
