A British grandmother-of-five on a dream holiday to Jamaica is facing a race against time to fund £60,000 for a heart operation - after an insurance company refused to cover the cost.
A CORONER has called for action after a hospital failed to check a woman s heartbeat when she fainted, and who later died following heart surgery. Senior coroner for Brighton and Hove Veronica Hamilton-Deeley has sent a rare report for the preventions of future deaths to an NHS trust, following the death of Janet Willcock on November 21 last year. Mrs Willcock fainted on August 12 and suffered a head injury and a fractured wrist in the fall. The 61-year-old went to A and E at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, but there was no evidence staff examined her heart with a stethoscope, according to Ms Hamilton-Deeley s report.
