Ambulances waiting at an A&E department
(Picture: PA Wire)London patients must not "normalise" the "outrage" of 12-hour waits for treatment in A&E, a charity has warned.
John Maingay, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said "systemic changes" were needed to NHS emergency care as figures revealed that nearly 10,000 Londoners waited over 12 hours to be admitted to A&E in December.
