Flu: Welsh Ambulance Service overwhelmed by cases – minister

Miles added that this, coupled with hospitals taking more measures to slow down infections “put real pressure on the ambulance service as a consequence”.

The percentage of calls the ambulance service had been able to answer “in a timely fashion” remained consistent despite a huge surge in demand, he said.

“It’s the demand that has put additional pressure on the system this year,” he said.

The Welsh Ambulance Service said more than 340 calls were waiting to be answered at the time the critical incident was declared.
