Labour are claiming that patients are waiting up to two and a half days for an ambulance. The important thing to note here is that this was for a CAT 3 call. Non life threatening. These calls are not a priority for the ambulance service. https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/ambulance-response-times https://news.sky.com/story/patients-waited-up-to-two-and-a-half-days-for-ambulances-and-40-hours-to-get-into-a-e-12859720
