A year and a half ago my wife took Ill
We called the doctor who came out no problem ......she said my wife needed to go to hospital and informed us the ambulance will be here within an hour.
An hour had passed and my wife was now in serious distress ....so I called 999....was told no record of an ambulance to our address.
Another hour had passed and now my wife was screaming the house down ......still no ambulance.
Was told our priority was stepped up .....
So after 3 hours ambulance arrived...wife was now on her way to hospital in Dundee.
When I got to hospital I was put in side room and then told my wife's heart had failed on way to the hospital.
Next day support machines were turned off.
Was told a few weeks later that they were looking into why it took 3 hours for ambulance to arrive.
Have heard nothing since.
"Delay in ambulance"
