Daran Philipson’s 72-year-old mum Kathleen spent a miserable 13 hours stuck in an ambulance on a hospital forecourt as the crew waited to hand her over to doctors.
He and his mum remain fully behind the strikes - otherwise, the government simply won’t listen, he says.
“We began the wait in the ambulance as a priority patient but by the end felt completely and utterly forgotten,” said Daran, 45, a transport administrator who lives with his mum in Solihull and travelled with her to the hospital that day.
