Coroner criticises state’s refusal to treat guidelines
Ambulance Tasmania's policy is 'confusing' and needs a rewrite, say inquest findings
A coroner has recommended Ambulance Tasmania rewrite its refusal of treatment and transport policy after the death of a woman who declined care.
Feryne Gaylene Hunter, 75, suffered a tracheostomy blockage and was found lifeless in bed by a nurse on the morning of 13 September 2017 in her suburban Hobart home.
