      Even if they just had two guys and a van, I’d expect it to take under 5 hours. This isn’t triage, this is negligence.

          I’m not actually. I’m saying even if they were understaffed and untrained, I’d expect better response times

            Cant have better response times if theres literally no one available in the first place. What point are you trying to make?

            The conservative government for the last decade or more has massively cut NHS funding. Resulting in cases like this.

              Except there was people available. She just wasn’t prioritized. That’s why it made the news

                You seem to be using a definition of “available” that’s different from everyone else.

                When they say “available”, it means someone who is not actively doing something. A paramedic who’s tending to another patient is not an available paramedic.

    Sounds like the NHS is in desperate need of more public funding, or a dispatcher is in desperate need of getting fired and sued, or possibly both.
    A small English town in peacetime shouldn’t be a place that requires triage.

      It’s the UK, they need the government to wipe their asses too! I don’t know what went wrong with their country, but something did.
