Deaths of patients after ambulance delays have increased markedly in the last three years, shocking new figures show.
The ambulance service covering Shropshire says its crews had to wait a total of nearly 40,000 hours waiting to discharge patients into hospitals in October alone, which keeps them off the road.
The figures relate to the number of deaths where the case has been declared a potential serious incident. "The vast majority of these are where patients have come to harm as a result of ambulance crews being unable to respond to patients in a timely manner, due to the level of hospital handover delays.
"There are only one lot of people who are responsible and that is the Government, which needs to invest in the NHS."
