A woman reportedly suffered a stroke and died after waiting for eight hours on an ambulance.
A row has broken out following warnings of NHS cuts ahead of hospital service shake-up in Merseyside. Michele Martin, the organiser of Save Ormskirk and Southport Hospitals campaign group, has claimed that the changes to stroke services at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust as well as high ambulance waiting times will be fatal for some people in the area.
The measure will see some stroke services to Aintree Hospital from Southport next week which will apparently increase journey times for stroke patients, according to campaigners.
