Another woman tells the BBC that had she been able to afford timely appointments, her multiple sclerosis, a degenerative neurological disease, would have been identified, and slowed, quicker.

At hospital, she was found to have suffered a neurological injury and a bleed on her spine, which has left her without most feeling below her waist.

By their calculations, in that time frame, more than 170,000 people will be hospitalized, and nearly 900 will experience debilitating and potentially deadly neurological complications.

Having stayed in a neurological care home in Peterborough, she is now preparing to move into her own home with the hope of becoming a nail technician.

Mrs Lakin's cause of death was recorded as "respiratory compromise by support belt" and "postural impairment" along with her Parkinson's disease and a rare neurological condition called corticobasal syndrome.
