Why do i feel this action was Delibarate ... truly is shocking those seriosly ill sick are having to wait for ambulance emergancy medical attention and is a trend that cant continue.

I know my self when i phoned them Heart Breathing Problems 45 mins paramedic was told be help or ambulance would arive.

Truly is shocking people are being left on streets with no dignaty or in the home when they have needed help when at the most vulnerable.

Hi Denis,this is down to Tory ideology,they make the ambulance service so short of money and people we are led to believe it,s no good.The Tories then sell it off to their rich friends who then make profit by charging sick people who then have no choice but to pay.What happens to those that can,t pay?They die,end of!I,m collecting signatures( petition) on the 28th to save OUR Nhs.We must stop these evil people destroying our health services.D.

never think we ae fightin a lost cause, D. If we unite, on the site you showed, this is the voice of all of us. If they have some heart, they must listen.

Hope we won'thave any war, because that would put an end to the heart listening. I fear this Putin and the Isis, ruthless selfish people.

Hi Daz, it is disgusting, although never had a problem here in the Midlands or me personally, unsure if others have, my daughter had a fit the other day and 1st response paramedic was with us within 10 mins and an ambulance close behind, but I will sign any petition for this kind of thing, it has to stop, Xx sonia xx

D3NIS, yes, I had the experience when I felt ill. The paramedic told me that my sputum didn't "look" bad enough for me to go to hos[pial. he told me w he owuld elave me and somebody would come in a couple of hours to see how I was! Fortunately, I went to bed. The next man asked me what I wanted. I said, please take me to hosptial. I had pseudomonas and stayed a fortnight, plus went home with an antibiotic in a bottle which had to be changed for another fortnight!

These days, I try to get as much help as possible at home. but I know it cannot always be possible.

The lesson: don't be ill at weekends, or during bank holidays!!!

Hi Daz, it is truly awful what some poor people are going through just trying to get to Hospital for help. I don't understand why as everything used to be so much better than this. I can honestly say that Pete has never had problems getting an ambulance thank goodness but I do feel for others who have.

Our cause is never lost and when you get your petition together Farmer D, I will happily sign it.

Take care all and be well. xxxx

I have waited many a times at A and E for 5 to 6 hours; having difficulty to attract a nurse's attention when I needed the loo, as I would be "fixed" with an oxygen tube!
