THE DAUGHTER of woman who died alone in a hospital bed after she struggled to see a GP during lockdown says Boris Johnson makes her blood boil.

GP practices across the country were forced to limit face-to-face appointments and despite Anne's deteriorating condition, it took months before she was seen by a doctor.

What followed was multiple trips to A&E, hospital consultations, and discharges with pain relief medication until a scan showed Anne had a large cancerous mass in her pelvis.

Just days after the family was told that their 'super gran' was riddled with cancer, she died, all alone in a hospital bed.
