Quick response could have saved him

My husband consulted Dr Jaffar, a respiratory specialist GP, on 18/01/24. We received a clinic letter copy on 27/01/24, with another sent to Dr Oszelik at Larwood. The recommended GP action was to review and start an ACE inhibitor and SGLT2 inhibitor to optimize heart failure treatment. That was eight weeks ago, and we've heard absolutely nothing. No phone call, no medication changes. My husband's condition deteriorated rapidly, and on 21st March I went to the surgery requesting a home visit because he was struggling to breathe. His lips and fingernails had turned blue. The situation escalated, resulting in 4 paramedics and 2 ambulances arriving, and he was subsequently hospitalized. He remains in the respiratory ward.
