Ambulance trust 'covered up evidence about mistakes by paramedics linked to deaths of 90 patients'

Ambulance trust 'covered up evidence about mistakes by paramedics linked to deaths of 90 patients' An NHS ambulance service misled coroners by changing documents and witness statements about deaths linked to how it treated patients, it has been reported. 

North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) has been accused of doctoring multiple reports and keeping families in the dark about exactly how their loved ones died.

It is claimed that coroners were not given key evidence and that senior managers at the service edited witness statements that had been requested, in some cases making it look like no mistakes had been made. The Daily Mail
