The coroner's concerns
1. lack of interpreter leading to delayed CTPA
“The Trust in question has taken steps since the death of Mr [name redacted] to improve the identification of the need for an interpreter to prevent language being a barrier to access to treatment. However, it was unclear from the evidence given that from a national perspective there were protocols in place to ensure that other Trusts would avoid a similar situation arising where language was a barrier to accessing care”
