Targets missed across UK with some heart attack and stroke victims waiting up to nine hours for help.
"We have members who have been working for 20, 30 years, and they have never before experienced anything like this," said Richard Webber from the College of Paramedics
Targets are being missed elsewhere in the UK too, with reports emerging of some seriously ill patients waiting up to nine hours for an ambulance.Cases involve both waits for crews to reach patients, as well as delays when ambulances arrive at A&E but spend hours queuing outside, because the hospital is too overcrowded to accept the patient.
In another in the East of England it took an hour to get to a call classed as immediately life-threatening. The individual was found dead. One of those who faced a long wait was 82-year-old Margaret Root. It took nearly six hours for an ambulance to come, and she then waited for another three hours outside hospital.
"We have members who have been working for 20, 30 years, and they have never before experienced anything like this at this time of the year."The ambulance service is simply not providing the levels of service they should - patients are waiting too long and that is putting them at risk."Mr Webber said waits of three or four hours were not uncommon.
