    Failings by NHS 111 contributed to the death of an autistic teenager, a coroner has ruled. Hannah Royle, 16, suffered a cardiac arrest as she was driven to hospital by her parents after a 111 algorithm failed to notice she was seriously ill. A coroner said her death had exposed a risk people were being misled about the capability of the system and its staff. An NHS spokesperson said it would act on the findings and learnings "where necessary". Hannah's father Jeff Royle said he regretted dialling 111 and wished he had taken his daughter straight to hospital. "I feel so

    Between April 2020 and March 2021 there were approximately 185,000 ambulance handovers to emergency departments throughout Wales.

Data published by the Welsh Government highlighted that in December 2020 alone, a total of 11,542 hours were lost by the ambu

    Hundreds of people believe the helpline failed their relatives. Now they are demanding their voices be heard.

    People with non-life threatening illnesses will be told to call before going to Wales' biggest A&E department.

The system is set to start at the end of July, but will not apply to people with serious illnesses or injuries.
