A coroner has labelled the ambulance service system ‘daft’ following the death of a pensioner

A disabled pensioner lay on the floor after a fall for more than three hours after 999 operators said he was not a priority, his family have said

It was 2am and he called 999 on his mobile phone, asking for the ambulance service. The manner in which he was treated led him to ask for the transcript between him and the operator

A retired hotel manager who was refused an ambulance when he dialled 999 was found dead when police broke into his home the next day

More than half of stroke patients taken to Basingstoke hospital by ambulance were misdiagnosed by the 999 call system, a new study reveals

The satire news site Anorak News has a very funny but also somewhat disturbing item in its ‘Strange but true’ section about a 17 year old girl who calls 911 after her father has a seizure

An ambulance call operator has apologised for the way she handled emergency phone calls made by a Sydney schoolboy, who died while bushwalking in the Blue Mountains
