I'm struggling to understand why no one helped her up and either drove her to the hospital or called for a taxi to take her

It doesn't help when people are calling ambulances for a scratch on their nose or a chipped toenail. On top of that there's the loonies that ring up 50 times a day.
That’s nothing to do with it. The call was taken, it was a lack of ambulance facilities (allegedly related to a lack of hospital facilities) that is the cause of this. When a call handler has a call about a chipped toe nail they deal with that as appropriately, they certainly wouldn’t be the same priority as this lady for getting an ambulance.We once had a young fit man chip his ankle on one of our construction sites. It was minor (still resulted in a RIDDOR) but 999 was called for help as we couldn’t move him. Normally this would be walking wounded but the effect it had on the young man was profound. The shock of the situation caused him to enter a distressed panic and it was very difficult to move him from the location to a car. I can therefore see how a lady who has fallen in this way could easily get into trouble.

All that effort to get blankets under her, and all the coats etc, but no-one thought to order a taxi or get a car?? Really doesn't make sense.https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2019-12-19/mum-died...

It's certainly curious this incident hasn't received the viral publicity and disgust that last week's child on A&E floor received.
Yes, you could almost imagine that the earlier incident was a sham, spun for political gain...Jasandjules said:

Should be asking why there seems to be a shortage of ambulances and crews...
Yes, why are there so many managers and so much waste? I mean, sure it is vital to have lots of art in the grounds etc but still.... When we were offloading, both the crews from the two Ambos we parked next to thanked u for taking a job off their slate. They were sat there doing nothing. Don't know why they weren't tasked but it wasn't for lack of resources in that instance.
It's been an eye opener getting involved in the care chain at the sharp end. Also very frustrating at times.

I was in West Yorkshire last weekend, and we met a relative of my wife who's in a senior medical position at the hospital in question. She says the consensus among the staff there is that it was set up for the picture.9xxNick said:

Well if I now send a team of investigative journalist out to track you down. And they find out you don't know someone who works there. By most of the medias logic that will prove without doubt that what you suggest happened at the hospital isn't true. But even better I could then spin that into how fake news is influenceing people. It's exactly what the media did.Off course if I did find you made it up it doesn't prove you where wrong about the episode at the hospital it just proves you lie and you don't know someone at the hospital and what happened. The only way I could prove you was incorrect would be to go to the hospital and do a investigate there. Find out how many beds there was, how many staff, how many patients and so on.
But no all I need to find is a random statement on the internet was a lie. Get a single statement from the hospital and of cause that will always be truthful and honest. Its the equivalent of idiots who find a few spelling mistakes on a forum discussion and think that wins them the argument.
