A Glasgow great-gran had to be driven to hospital by family members while she had a stroke after she was told that there were no ambulances available.
Moira Buchanan, 89, should have been rushed to hospital within minutes after her family made a 999 call, according to health service targets for stroke victims. Instead, Moira's family were told by operators that there were no available ambulances in the Glasgow area.
The family was told that their best option would be to carry her out to their own car and make the rushed journey to hospital themselves, reports the Daily Record.
