Two Ambulance Workers Arrested Over Six Deaths in Wiltshire

News summary

Two ambulance service workers employed by the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into six deaths in Wiltshire. A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of six counts of gross negligence manslaughter and four counts of ill-treatment or willful neglect by a care worker, while a 59-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Both individuals were suspended from their duties and have been released on conditional bail as police continue their enquiries.

One of the suspended staff members is no longer employed by the Trust, and further comments are withheld due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
