An NHS boss suffering a stroke was 'too afraid' to call an ambulance due to the 'worst ambulances handover delays of any region'.
Deborah Lee, who is the chief executive of the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS, said she is "grateful" she didn't have to call an ambulance after suffering a stroke on April 22.
After hearing Mrs Lee "lament" the imbalance delays, her husband drove her straight to the hospital himself where she received instant treatment, Gloucestershire Live reported.
