Thomas Harvey collapsed in his bathroom and died from Covid-19. His daughter blames the UK government for his death. 'I think he was neglected from the start. It's just a tragedy... My mother is overwhelmed as she has lost her best friend.'
London A man who worked for the UK's National Health Service for 20 years was"neglected" by his employer after he contracted Covid-19 and died, alleges his daughter Tamira Harvey.
Although Thomas Harvey never got a test for Covid-19 before he died, an NHS Trust confirmed to CNN that he had picked up the virus. According to his daughter, the 57-year-old health care assistant was let down by both the hospital where he helped care for recovering stroke patients, and by emergency responders.Tamira alleges that London's Goodmayes Hospital failed to provide necessary personal protective equipment to her father.
The NHS trust responsible for the hospital where Thomas worked told CNN on Wednesday that there were no symptomatic patients when Thomas Harvey went off work sick, and that it has been following national PPE guidance. CNN reached out to NHS England, which leads the public health service in England and oversees emergency services, via phone and email and has yet to receive a response.
— #JusticeforThomas March 31, 2020 Tamira criticized what she described as emergency responders' failure to do more to help her father earlier. In total, she says the family called 999 on three occasions. On March 22, paramedics did make the trip to come and treat Harvey.A few days before his death, on March 26, the family called for a second time to try and get Harvey into a hospital to access more specialized care, but were instead directed online.
