A 100-year-old woman who died in hospital eight days after being denied an ambulance, refused to be taken in – the London Ambulance Service has claimed.

However, the family of Elsie Rowe from Walthamstow have disputed that no matter how she said she felt, she should have been taken.

On January 4, 76-year-old Alan Rowe called 999 after watching the health of his elderly mother, Elsie, deteriorate.

She had stopped eating and could no longer lift her own weight.
