The executive director of the Welsh Ambulance Service said 'significant pressures' remained. He said he was 'deeply sorry' to patients who had long waits overnight.
An ambulance service has warned of 'difficult' months ahead after it declared an 'extraordinary incident' at the weekend. The Welsh Ambulance Service declared the incident overnight amid delays to patient handovers to hospitals, particularly in the Swansea Bay health board area, but it has since been stood down on Monday. The executive director of operations at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Lee Brookes, said 'significant pressure' remained.
The ambulance service would welcome 'whatever intervention' could be made by health boards and the Welsh government to improve the situation as winter approached, Mr Brookes added. 'What is clear is that bold decisions are required because doing what we have always done is unlikely to change the outcome - it's why we're thinking very differently about the shape of the ambulance service of the future,' he added.
