Coroners link eleven deaths to glitches in NHS 111 and 999 systems The deaths of eleven patients, including two young children, have been linked to glitches in the algorithms used by the NHS 111 and 999 services.

Coroners have issued warnings about the “triaging” system after a catalogue of safety concerns.

The “prevention of future death” reports were issued because of fears the tragedies would be repeated, without swift action to improve the service and reduce the risk of fatal errors. The Daily Telegraph
