Senior coroner Alison Mutch found James Boland, 38, from Manchester, died of sepsis caused by a kidney infection which was "a complication of long-term use of ketamine".Mr Boland, who was the founder and owner of Ancoats Coffee Co in Manchester, died on 19 June.

In a prevention of future deaths (PFD), the Greater Manchester South coroner said maintaining ketamine as a Class B drug rather than Class A was "likely to encourage others to start to use it or continue to use it under the false impression it is 'safer'."Ketamine is used by the NHS as an anaesthetic, sedative and pain reliever, and is also commonly used on animals.

Because of its hallucinogenic effects, it is also thought of as a "party drug".In concluding Mr Boland's inquest last month, Ms Mutch found Mr Boland died from sepsis caused by complications of acute pyelonephritis "probably contributed to by the complications of chronic ketamine use".

The coroner said in her PFD report that Mr Boland had previously used cocaine, a Class A drug, but had switched to ketamine on the basis he perceived it to be less harmful.

She said his perception that it was less harmful was based on the fact it was designated as a Class B rather than a Class A drug.“It’s a regular occurrence,” explained Duncan Stewart-Ball, the FBU’s regional secretary for Wales.

He said some rural areas now frequently saw situations where their nearest fire station was unable to respond because of staffing problems, meaning waits of up to “half an hour” as crews travelled in from out of area.“We could in future see a situation where somebody is phoning 999 because their house is on fire and we could be turning around and saying ‘sorry, there is a delay',” he said.

“There are risks to the public. Lives are in danger.”Several serving on-call firefighters suggested the impact on family life and work were some of the main reasons for people giving up on-call firefighting - with one consequence being that some firefighters stayed on much later in life than they used to.
