Half of ambulance patients waited more than an hour to be handed over to A&E at county hospitals, new figures show.
The Royal College of Nursing, a staff body for the profession, said the healthcare system is"dangerously close to overheating completely" after more long waits outside Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
NHS targets state trusts should complete 95 per cent of all ambulance handovers in 30 minutes, with all conducted in less than one hour. She added that there was a serious lack of bed capacity in the NHS, urging the Government to address pay and vacancies for nurses to improve care. A handover delay does not always mean a patient has waited in the ambulance as they could have been moved into an A&E department but the handover was not completed.
