Breaking Point?
Appalling ambulance wait times laid bare: Pensioner, 69, who tripped on pavement is left 'moaning in agony' for TEN HOURS while churchgoer, 93, with suspected broken hip is left 'crumpled' on floor for FOURTEEN as services hit 'breaking point'
Patients have told their stories of agonising waits for ambulances as NHS England admitted it is struggling to cope after the number of staff off sick due to Covid has doubled in the past three weeks - while there are a 'high number' of patients in hospital. This is not just affecting England with the Welsh Ambulance being hit by 'very high demand' for ambulances as it faces 'extensive hospital handover delays' causing some patients to wait hours in 'agony'. One of the unlucky ones, Emlyn Roberts (pictured under blankets following his fall, main), 69, was left 'moaning in agony' on the ground of a town centre in North Wales after he tripped and suffered 'serious injuries'. Members of the public phoned an ambulance for him immediately but he had to wait 10 hours for one to show up. It comes as dozens of others across the country have reported 'horrendous' waiting times, with the Liberal Democrats describing the ambulance services as being at 'breaking point'. Sheila (inset, left), was left lying in the street for over four hours this week while waiting for an ambulance. An elderly man was left 'waiting and waiting' as paramedics did not turn up at Christ Church (bottom right) in Bath, Somerset. Cyril Pepper is pictured top right being propped up by cushions at 2.30 am, 12 hours after the first ambulance call.
