Not really relevant, it's about funding. If it isn't there it isn't there.

Where else is there a 6 hour wait for an ambulance?

By the sounds of it this isn't a standard Welsh thing. It's a one off.

Not that that excuses anything for this poor woman.

Could be anywhere - total pot luck. If your case isn't urgent your ambulance can be 30 seconds away and get turned around because of a more serious incident elsewhere.

I'm sure we had an English version of this within the last few months.

A woman who spent four hours waiting for an ambulance after falling over in Lynn’s town centre last week has thanked those who came to her aid.

The elderly woman, who has asked not to be named, broke her hip after tripping and falling on Broad Street on Tuesday, after which a number of businesses and a retired A&E doctor offered their help.

Ruth Griffiths, the woman’s daughter, said they are hoping to identify the doctor, who they believe was called John, who stayed with her while she waited in the doorway of a shop on Broad Street from around 10.15am to 2.15pm.

Edit pt 2.

There's actually a load of these stories from the last few years, although this lady unfortunately died is why this is being reported so prominently.

Wouldn't have thought so, as that is why we call ambulances to begin with.
