A HUSBAND last night told of the "war zone" which greeted him as his wife finally got into a hospital after a 12-hour-wait.
Edward Haggerty, 52, revealed his distress at witnessing queues of people lined up in corridors on trolleys and wheelchairs waiting for beds or to be seen.
Wife Denise, 56, had fallen ill at their Dumbarton home with palpitations, breathlessness, and vomiting.
She went to see her GP in Dumbarton Health Centre at 12.30 pm and the doctor called an ambulance.
But Edward said: "The ambulance didn't turn up and the surgery had to stay open late until it arrived.
"My wife felt with the doctor calling the ambulance it would arrive quite quickly.
"I work at the children's hospice Robin House and I got a phone call from Denise telling me what was happening.
"I left there about 1.45pm but thought I wouldn't make it back to Dumbarton before the ambulance arrived so I drove straight to Paisley.
"I was at the hospital before 3pm but there was no sign of Denise.
