Wilma Sinclair's doctor had asked for an ambulance within an hour.
A pensioner died in hospital after enduring a five hour wait for an ambulance to move her from a care home.
Mrs Sinclair was taken to hospital where doctors discovered her bowel was blocked and any operation could have proved fatal.She died days later surrounded by her family at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Her family told the probe they felt she had 'suffered' during her wait for an ambulance on March 9, 2016.
Sheriff Bruce Erroch KC said the ambulance arriving sooner would have seen Mrs Sinclair being admitted to hospital quicker but ruled out the delays as a cause of death.The sheriff made no findings in any defects of working and said no reasonable precautions could have been taken to avoid the death. "Based on these timescales, it is reasonable to conclude that, had an ambulance arrived within an hour of it being ordered at 20.47 ` in other words by 21.47 ` she would have been admitted to the Immediate Assessment Unit within one hour 42 minutes."The failure of SAS to send an ambulance within an hour of an ambulance being ordered resulted in a five-hour delay in hospital admission.
