The Yorkshire Ambulance Service is failing to hit crucial response time targets, latest figures show.
Dr Tim Cooksley, president of the Society for Acute Medicine, said the situation across England “remains unacceptable”.
He said: “Increasingly people will themselves, or had a friend or family member who has, experienced a long wait for emergency care or be on an NHS waiting list. “Performance data now routinely illustrates that patients are continuing to experience overcrowding in acute care settings with flow throughout the system impaired.
“Patients are being stuck for extortionately long periods in emergency departments and acute medical units which results in worse patient outcomes. “Due to this, paramedics are then stuck unable to transfer their patients into hospitals and get back on the road, resulting in 999 patients being left at home for longer periods without clinical assessment and treatment, driving public concern that they may not get an ambulance at their time of most need.
