East of England ambulance delays kill 20, says MP

East of England ambulance delays kill 20, says MP Twenty people died after ambulance delays over 12 days when a trust failed to move into its highest state of emergency, an MP has said.

Labour's Clive Lewis told the Commons senior managers wanted to move East of England Ambulance Service Trust to so-called REAP 4 on 19 December.

Mr Lewis said the decision was not taken until 31 December.

The trust said it experienced "significant pressure" over the winter period. BBC News
