Figures reveal a patient waited more than two days for a response to a Category 3 call which should be dealt with in two hours
Patients have been left waiting more than two days for an ambulance in the North West, new analysis suggests.
Other Freedom of Information data collected by Labour for 2022 showed that one patient waited 40 hours in the back of an ambulance outside a hospital in the South West, while in the East of England there was an almost 36-hour wait, and one of 32 hours in the West Midlands. “The causes of long ambulance waits are complex. High demand – always at its worst in winter – along with overstretched capacity and vast workforce shortages all contribute. Trust leaders are working extremely hard to recover urgent and emergency care services and develop community and mental health support to ensure patients can access the care they need swiftly in the right setting.
There was a big improvement in January, to an average response time of 39 minutes and 33 seconds. However, this was still above the 18-minute target. “The longer we give the Conservatives in office, the longer patients will wait. Labour will launch the biggest expansion of the NHS workforce in history, training the staff needed to reach patients on time, paid for by abolishing the non-dom tax status. We will ensure the NHS is there for us when we need it once again.”
