> The Welsh ambulance service said that on the day Gibson died, its crews spent more than 700 hours waiting outside hospitals for patients to be admitted, which meant they could not respond quickly to people needing help.
The beast has collapsed from starvation. I know it’s already unofficially the case, but they should probably make it public policy that ambulances are only for heart attacks and strokes from now on.

There’s no way every patient queued up in ambulance outside hospital is in greater need of an ambulance than someone coughing up blood dying of a heart attack on the floor at home. Stop using ambulances as an extended A&E waiting room. Put anyone who is less in danger in the A&E building and let the ambulance go out again and save someone’s life.
I wonder how many more people will die before they propose the privatised solution?
This is terrible news.
I’ll share a quick story that I hope will help people which happened in the last week.
I was at my moms house, and she started experiencing fainting and vomiting took her BP which was through the absolute roof, googled it, it said go straight to A&E, I phoned an ambulance and after 10 minutes of questions ( which I understand they need to ask) they said they will send an ambulance but the wait is a few hours at least.
We got my cousin to come and rushed her to the A&E room, it was Thursday daytime and relatively quiet from my experience. She was seen within 5 minutes of arrival, and having a scan within half hour of being in the hospital, she had an operation the following day and is all well and on the mend.
I know everybody can’t take people to A&E but get a taxi, do everything you can, at the minimum you’re spending 10 minutes on the phone to 999.
And then how ever long waiting for an ambulance.
I can only speak from my own experience but from now on, unless there is absolutely no physical way, I’m rushing anyone to A&E by myself by any means possible at the time.
Quick action can save lives.
Tories and everyone who votes for them have blood on their hands, you can’t dodge the blame you knew what you were voting for.
