Call handlers had been renamed health advisors, which " implies professionalism which is untrue given their underlying skills and unsubstantiated given it is their role to complete an algorithm, " she added.
An NHS spokesperson said: " The NHS expresses its condolences to The Family and friends of Hannah and is in The Process of answering The Coroner 's report and will respond within the timeframe set by The Coroner .
" We will now Take Away the findings and learnings and where necessary act on them with local or national services. "
