What recurred
- 19 Aug 2018 · David Sweeney · ME Hassell · Closely related · confidence 0.80 (moderate)
- 8 Jul 2025 · Miles Robinson · Sian Reeves · Closely related · confidence 0.85 (high)
The clearest link, quoted from both reports:
Earlier · David Sweeney · 19 Aug 2018
“A call to the London Ambulance Service regarding a man who had been unconscious did not prompt a red prioritisation.”
Later · Miles Robinson · 8 Jul 2025
“Given the rigidity of the structured questions, there was no capacity within MPDS to account for information provided on behalf of Mr [name redacted] during the first 999 call, namely that he thought and felt like he was having a heart attack.”
