The NHS has loadsamoney to spend on stuff that is clearly not core work, such as diversity and other parasitical hangers on but again is insufficiently willing to spend the money that would avoid stories like this one from the Worcester News.

A 97-year-old woman waited 17 hours for an ambulance on a care home floor as ambulance bosses apologise and blame “severe pressure”.

Sally Oakley, who has dementia, fell in the communal lounge at the Beechwood Residential Care Home in Upton-upon-Severn at 3pm.

However, West Midlands Ambulance Service did not arrive until 8am the following day.

Her son Richard Oakley said: “I was contacted by the care home in Upton on Thursday afternoon to say she has had a controlled fall.

“They had called 999 as she may have injured herself and they were waiting for an ambulance.

An ambulance that did not arrive for seventeen bloody hours. What an absolute shower Britain’s NHS truly is.

The bloody dinghy parasites travelling across the English Channel get their needs seen to quicker than the NHS has attended to this poor lady. The trouble is this is not a one off occurrence for the NHS and its ambulance service. It’s all too common that ambulances take ages to arrive, if indeed they bother to turn up at all.

Maybe if we clap harder or throw a couple of diversity officers into the ambulance service HQ then it might not be such the grotesque shambles that the ambulance service and indeed the NHS as a whole is. Or maybe not. Sadly this is the sort of service that the customer gets when you run a health service in a similar way to one of the worst of the nationalised industries of the 1970’s.
