Greenock man died after 999 operator said ‘no ambulances were available’ – Greenock Telegraph

AN ELDERLY Greenock man collapsed and died in his garden after neighbours who went to his aid were told NO AMBULANCES were available anywhere in Inverclyde, an MSP has said.

People who had been instructed by a 999 operator to perform CPR on the stricken man said they were informed that the nearest paramedic unit was up to half-an-hour away at Linwood.

The Telegraph has been told that the casualty was only around a four-minute drive away from Inverclyde Royal Hospital at the time of the emergency.

Greenock-born MSP Jamie Greene – whose relatives were with the man when he passed away – said that it was ‘evidently a very grave situation’.

Mr Greene said: “It was a horrid situation and very upsetting.”
