Indeed.
Even though I was lying in the middle of a busy road when I had my accident, it took an hour and a half for an ambulance to arrive.
We'd (me and my wonderful temporary carers) been told it would take that long, but as I lay on my back, staring at the sky, I thought they'd just said that to cover themselves and would be quick, if only to get the traffic back to normal. But no.
Then once we got to LRI I was held in the back of the ambulance... Until that ambulance had finished it's shift and needed to return... To Coalville... So I was transferred to another ambulance... From Hinckley... Which had to return... But fortunately I got in just before that.
All in, from my involuntary efforts to test gravity (it still works) to being admitted to a hospital 2 miles away, took almost 3 hours.
Not blaming anyone (beyond the moron in the van and successive governmental ministers) it's just proof of the underfunding of the NHS.
