This seems to be a recurring event and a sign of things to come. It reminds me when that stupid women at North Tees complained about 'the wrong type of patient' turning up at One Life. Does anyone know what the current waiting time is for Ambulances to be queued outside North Tees waiting to off-load their patients?

There's a bit more in the Gazette. It looks like the general view is that everything would be fine if only inconsiderate patients would stop getting ill or having accidents. ;)

Isn't that the standard press release from the OLC?
