8 hour wait for bedbound patient
I had to call am ambulance because my 84 year old mother became very unwell. I was told that there was an 8 hour wait and to call back if symptoms worsened. I called back several times and each time I was told to bring her in myself. I have to continually explain that she is bedbound and unable to walk and that we were unable to get her there safely. I cannot believe how long it took for them to arrive for an elderly patient who was very unwell.
