:01:06. > :01:10.turned away from a stroke unit even though his delayed ambulancd was

:01:12. > :01:16.out that some members of staff thought the unit was closing for the
:01:17. > :01:18.weekend. Mr Mallieu's daughter says, as a result, he was carted `round
:01:19. > :01:22.as a result, he was carted around Nottinghamshire like cattle on a
:01:23. > :01:24.needless detour. As our health correspondent Rob Sissons, reports
:01:25. > :01:27.the NHS investigation decided systemic problems were to blame so
:01:28. > :01:40.it wouldn't be right to discipline any individual health workers. This
:01:41. > :01:47.was a medical emergency in this village. Mr Mallalieu had a stroke
:01:48. > :01:48.and needed to get to a spechalist unit fast so why did it take
:01:49. > :01:48.and needed to get to a specialist unit fast so why did it takd the

:02:17. > :02:20.nine minutes later, a lone paramedic arrived. The control room should
:02:21. > :02:27.have organised a double crew ambulance but didn't. Then, the

:04:08. > :04:10.Mallalieu died a few days later. The widow told me she cannot accept the

:04:13. > :04:14.Well, earlier I spoke to Silon procedures.
:04:15. > :04:17.Well, earlier I spoke to Simon Cook, from The Stroke Association in the
:04:18. > :04:26.East Midlands and asked me how crucial timing is when treating
:04:27. > :04:28.stroke patients. Well, it is absolutely essential that if people
:04:29. > :04:31.are experiencing any symptoms absolutely essential that if people
:04:32. > :04:38.are experiencing any symptols of the stroke they receive assistance. A
:04:39. > :04:42.blood supply to the brain is disrupted and the brain is not
:04:43. > :04:47.receiving the usual supply of blood camcorder damage to the brahn. The
:04:48. > :04:49.more damage that can potentially be done to the brain and can rdsult in
:04:50. > :04:52.done to the brain and can result in a more severe stroke. What `re the
:04:53. > :04:59.a more severe stroke. What are the consequences if the stroke patient
:05:00. > :05:07.is not treated? Stroke can be devastating. A third of strokes
:05:08. > :05:14.result in the person dying. That is one person in every ten and a half
:05:15. > :05:16.minutes. As stroke damages the brain, the brain controls all of our
:05:17. > :05:17.bodily functions so individuals brain, the brain controls all of our
:05:18. > :05:20.bodily functions so individuals can be left with a myriad of
:05:21. > :05:27.disabilities as a result of a stroke. Crucially, how do you spot
:05:28. > :05:31.the signs? I'm hoping many of the viewers will be familiar with the
:05:32. > :05:35.fast test. Look couple face, arm, speech, and any of those feds then
:05:36. > :05:42.speech, and any of those fees then phone 999. People can look out for
:05:43. > :05:46.numbness on one side of the body, disturbed or blurred vision in one
:05:47. > :05:48.or both eyes, a sudden fall of confusion. If you experience any
:05:49. > :05:48.or both eyes, a sudden fall of confusion. If you experiencd any of
:05:49. > :05:53.confusion. If you experience any of those things, treated as an
:05:54. > :05:58.emergency and phone an ambulance. There is more information on The
:05:59. > :06:01.Stroke Association website. The Fire Brigades Union says it may
:06:02. > :06:05.consider a legal challenge over plans which could see crews taking
:06:06. > :06:09.patients to hospital in ambulances. Stamford will be one of thrde towns
:06:10. > :06:14.in Lincolnshire to take part in a year long pilot project. From July,
