Comment on Paramedics not sent to a third of 999 ambulance calls in parts of England

My baby stopped breathing, and then was struggling to breathe when she was 6 months old. Called 111 and asked what to do, they told me towait for an ambulance. After an hour and a half I called 111 for the third time to be told to just start driving to the hospital as they didn’t have anyone to send out. Went to the hospital, and they took 6 hours to see her. 😑 luckily all was ok by that point and she was fast asleep, but it really opened my eyes to what a shit show things were if something worse had happened.
