    This first report in National Voices' ‘Behind the Headlines’ series gathers insight and intelligence from member organisations on what the cost of living crisis means for people living with ill health. It examines the close link between poverty and health, highlighting that people living in poverty are more likely to be living in poor health. Equally, lack of support for people living with ill health and disability can make people poor. The report gathers case studies and data on topics including include cancer, kidney conditions, older people and homelessness. It makes a set of recommendations based on this insight.

    This case study summarises the story of Evadney Dawkins, a 77 year-old living in East London who died on 23 August 2018 as a result of treatment errors and poor care received at Newham University Hospital. Following a fall at home, Evadney was taken to the hospital on 22nd July 2018, where she was initially treated for a chest infection and fast atrial fibrillation (an irregular and abnormally fast heart rate). As she had other co-morbidities that included chronic renal failure, a treatment plan including renal monitoring was agreed, but the hospital failed to monitor her renal function and she sustained a profound acute kidney injury. Following intensive treatment, the acute kidney injury resolved but she sustained a cardiac arrest on 23rd August 2018 and died later that day. This case study outlines how Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) helped Evadney's family convince the Coroner to open an inquest. The inquest found that there were ‘gross failures’ in the care provided to Evadney which led to her renal deterioration, including a failure in the frequency of blood tests, a failure in fluid monitoring and a failure to carry out renal ultrasound. The Coroner also criticised Bart's Health NHS Trust's systems of governance for not identifying for two years that Evadney’s case was a serious incident which required investigation.
