90 min Ambulance wait for Ballinamore man with severe chest pain

There have been fresh calls for an ambulance base in Ballinamore after one patient was left waiting with severe chest pains for almost two hours.

It took over 90 minutes for an ambulance to attend the man in his 60s last Friday night, according to local councillor Gary Prior.

He's once again pleading for a base to be developed in the south Leitrim town.

Cllr Prior says ambulance waiting times in the area are regularly over 50 minutes.
