An elderly man was left waiting in the road for an ambulance for three hours as he was not deemed a priority.
North West Ambulance Service were called to Copy Lane in Netherton shortly before 5pm on Tuesday, March 15 - but an ambulance didn't arrive until 8.05pm. A spokesperson for the ambulance service told the ECHO it always has to "prioritise the most life-threatening conditions and injuries".
The elderly man had fallen into the road but because of his injuries could not be moved. Officers from Merseyside Police had to temporarily close the road during rush hour and divert traffic because of the incident.
