Hospital staff said procedure could not be done at weekends and gave her aspirin. But help was available just a short drive away
A primary school teaching assistant died from a stroke after hospital staff told her family that the life-saving treatment she needed was not available at weekends.
Jasbir Pahal, 44, who had four children and was known as Jas, died in November last year after suffering a stroke. Her family was told she could only be treated with aspirin because a procedure to remove the blood clot was only available from 8am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
