People in Sefton waiting up to 17 hours for an ambulance

People have been waiting up to 17 hours for ambulances in parts of Sefton this summer.

While the wait relates to non urgent calls, with those living in south Sefton most severely affected, those living in the north of the borough also faced long waits.

In north Sefton, the average response time for category four calls, the least critical, came in at seven and a half hours on average during June, significantly higher than the 180 minute NHS target.
