A THIRD of ambulance workers have been involved with cases where a patient’s death was linked to delay, according to a GMB survey.

The findings of the poll, which will be shown on ITV’s Tonight programme on Thursday, also reveal that 85 per cent of ambulance workers have witnessed delays  that have seriously affected a patient’s recovery.

More than 80 per cent feel that the current pressure puts them at an unacceptable level of stress and 72 per cent have considered leaving the service.
