THERE are still hundreds of people waiting for ambulances despite the 999 service’s desperate plea to only call in the event of a life-threatening emergency.
The service issued a plea asking members of the public to only call the emergency line if absolutely necessary.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) bosses also apologised for delays, as they said the service was extremely stretched across the region. NWAS chiefs said that at 5pm on Monday, more than 600 poorly patients were waiting for an ambulance across the North West.
At the same time, another 100 emergency vehicles were parked outside of hospitals waiting to take patients inside.
