Families bereaved by the Manchester Arena bombing have blasted the emergency services for failing their loved ones after a damning report published today found that two of those who died in the terror attack could have survived with better treatment.
The family of John Atkinson, said he was left dying on the floor ‘without his dignity’ and was ‘failed at every stage’ after an inquiry found the injuries he suffered were ‘survivable’ but ‘inadequacies in the emergency response’ were likely to have resulted in his death.
The parents of Saffie-Rose Roussos, eight, the youngest victim of the attack, said they believed in their hearts their little girl ‘would have survived had she been given correct medical attention that she needed’.
