A 90-year-old woman with a suspected broken hip waited 40 hours for an ambulance and was then left in the vehicle overnight with it parked outside A&E, it is claimed.
Daphne Syms fell on Sunday at her home in St Austell, Cornwall but had to wait until Tuesday afternoon for paramedics to arrive.
After a 17-mile journey to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, Daphne was left waiting outside in the van due to queues in the accident and emergency department.
