People ‘praying they don’t fall ill or suffer an accident’ – Labour

P

eople are “praying they don’t fall ill” because they “can no longer be sure their 999 call will be answered or that an ambulance will arrive when they need one”, Labour has said.

The party made the comments after it was revealed that one 999 caller in December was forced to wait for an hour-and-a-half before their call was answered.
