If you come to our local DGH's A&E in an ambulance and you're not a trauma or cardiac or stroke, you face seven to twenty hour wait in the carpark. You will see multiple paramedics as they change shifts in situ. In fairness the ambulance service has scaled amazingly well given most of their staff are now pegged in hospital carparks, but yes, waiting times for critical calls are extended, people are dying because ambulances aren't available. All because they can't hand over to A&E. Because A&E can't ingest patients. Because wards can't discharge. Because care homes don't exist. It's that simple. If you doubled the number of community care placements, staff, etc, you'd buy the NHS another ten years.
