Patients with broken bones have also been waiting up to 22 hours for help to arrive.

Four patients waited more than 20 hours in the back of ambulances outside Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in September alone, and the majority are now waiting more than an hour to be handed over from paramedics to A&E staff in the county town.
