Response Times - cont’d.
AS BRITAIN’S NHS (National Health Service) CONTINUES TO COLLAPSE ON ITSELF, this story comes from Wales today.
The South Wales Echo reports this morning that:
A YOUNG footballer who broke one of his legs was left lying on the pitch in agony for two rain-soaked hours before an ambulance arrived.
New Barry Town signing Leon Dennis, 23, collapsed with a horror injury after a tackle in the match against Llanwern and lay shivering on the ground in pain before being taken to hospital.
The match at Barry’s Jenner Park was abandoned as the shocked players and referee looked on in horror.
The full story is HERE.

It was just this past August (HERE) that the Welsh Ambulance Service held a big party and congratulated itself for “…drastically reducing response times and eliminating backlogs at hospital ER’s.”
