An exclusive Newsnight investigation by Chief Correspondent davidgrossman found a man died after his ear infection was not picked up in four GP telephone consultations Produced by Sean__Clare 🎥 Full film 👇

"I have no formal medical training other than first aid," Andrew said. "But if I was to identify a picture of someone who was dying..."

Andrew added: "He made numerous attempts to access treatment and there were so many opportunities where, had he been seen face-to-face, things would have been different." In documents seen by Newsnight, an independent GP expert who has looked at the case in detail said there were "several points in time where David should have been reviewed face to face".

"We have investigated the family's complaint regarding their son's treatment within primary care and provided them with a response", it said in a statement.

davidgrossman Sean__Clare A bit bloody late to say mistakes were made. This poor man died! Many of us know it's now virtually impossible to get a Dr's appointmen NHS 10DowningStreet must do something to sort this bloody mess out. RIP David. My thoughts are with his friends & family.

davidgrossman Sean__Clare That was so depressing to watch. The lack of any sense of urgency among clinicians was part of the problem imo. Good clinicians in my experience actually listen to what the client thinks they need in their decisions
