 The North West Ambulance Service has blamed delays at hospitals for difficulties in getting ambulances to emergency patients in time.
A statement by the ambulance service said that they would be using volunteers from St John's and the Red Cross, delaying all training except for new recruits, and calling all trained staff into operations. The statement said that pressures at hospitals were "causing significant delay in ambulance turnaround."
