Winston Llewellyn Johns

On 30"h 2013 commenced an investigation into the death of Winston Llewellyn Johns. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 24 October 2013. The conclusion of the inquest was Mr Johns died from injuries sustained as a result of advised CPR during a 999 call on the 22n 2013. The low blood sugar of 1.4 reported during the 999 call was not factored into the decision making:

Mr Johns was a know diabetic. His son visited and found unrousable. He checked his blood sugar which was 1.4 (low). He called 999 and explained his father was diabetic and had a low blood sugar: His father was snoring: He was initially advised to maintain the airway in the chair his father was sitting in. The son described the breathing as normal. The son was then advised to put his father on the floor and commence CPR He did as advised. During CPR Mr Johns sustained a sternum fracture and multiple rib fractures. The paramedics arrived and gave a glucose drip t0 restore the blood sugar to 6.8. Mr Johns was admitted to hospital where he later died pneumonia caused by the rib and sternum fractures

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and believe your organisation have the power to take such action.
