However both the Department of Health and NHS North of England deny having any involvement in the letter, saying it was a local matter between NHS Cumbria and Dr Ashton.

But these seats provided an excellent view of people being crushed to death on the terraces below. moncler farfetch Ashton recalls: started clambering up into the seats to escape the crush. I saw lifeless bodies on the pitch. I went to get involved. was clearly not being organised. No one was taking charge. I took control of the triage [deciding the priority of patients treatments based on the severity of their condition]. was immersed in it for two hours, running on adrenaline. Dealing with casualties. Certifying people dead. the following days Ashton was bemused by the official line, which Moncler rousseau Men down jackets blue brown blamed fans for the tragedy and exonerated the emergency services. The Hillsborough Independent Panel report has finally confirmed that Truth was not the infamous Sun story of fans robbing corpses and urinating on police officers.

Ashton Moncler Maya Men down jackets dark purple knew there had been a cover moncler jackets men sale up. Only the scale of it surprises him. report vindicates the campaign by the families and the Justice for Hillsborough group.

The mentality of the police was all about hooligans and deflecting Moncler Womenspring Autumn red jackets with zip attention from their failings. has been my view all along. People were excluded from the gym [where the bodies were taken] at five o I was very suspicious of what was going on. I think that when the conspiracy probably started.

He asserted that the ambulance service was ill equipped and disorganised, with only one ambulance at the Leppings Lane End by 3.30pm. Monday morning the ambulance service had their own debriefing. I got a call from a colleague telling me to stop criticising the ambulance service. was told people were saying I was lying about the emergency response, cheap moncler jackets for men it wasn true that I organised the triage. Because of doctoring of the police reports there was no evidence moncler women winter jackets to support my story. report says that a number of the dead might have survived if the medical response had been better. It reveals that some survived a significant period beyond the 3.15pm cut off point imposed at the original inquest, which ruled that all the victims must have been beyond saving by this time. thing that most shocking is the news that 41 of the 96 had the potential to be saved. The inquest didn examine events after 3.15pm so that was never looked at. official version put around was that their crush injuries meant people died very quickly. the official version was believed, at least initially. Ashton says that then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was always likely to favour the police account over that of football fans from Liverpool. South Yorkshire was probably her favourite police force, because of their handling of the miners strike. that the truth is finally out, Ashton feels a mixture of relief and anger. He would like to see prosecutions brought if the victims families feel this is appropriate. the families, getting the truth out in the open was the first step. This will help them come to terms with what happened
