The UK's Emergency Service Number 999 has a lot of reputation for ensuring fast service. But in the same way in the country's Devon County port, Ximuth, a family has happened. An elderly family, who was seriously injured, called 999 in an ambulance after about seven hours. Prior to this, the boy's son reached the house 200km from London.

Clementes then in London He got off to the news after the accident. To reach home, he changed the bus, metro and two trains. It takes 3 hours 40 minutes.
Clements said, 'After my mother was injured, my relatives called me six times in 999. But we never met an ambulance seven hours before. I reach the ambulance after 50 minutes of reaching home. Then at 10:00 in the afternoon.
When people of the South Western Ambulance Service (SWASF) reach the Clement's house, they are shocked to see the patient's condition. They also expressed regret.
