My understanding is that it is not unusual for people to wait an hour or two and in some cases even three hours. There is one documented case from a road traffic collision in Doonbeg last March where a lady was waiting three hours for an ambulance. Are the witnesses aware of many other examples of somebody in County Clare waiting three hours and more for an ambulance that they can share with us?
