"Ambulance waiting times cost my husband his life"
Martin Hunt had a stroke before crashing his HGV and died whilst waiting for an ambulance
His wife Julia says if response times weren't so long in Northamptonshire he might have survived
East Midlands Ambulance Service say the NHS and ambulance service continue to operate under tremendous pressure and whilst they've invested in new staff, vehicles and technology they continue to experience handover delays at hospitals
The Department for Health say that compared to the same time last year ambulance handover delays have fallen by 28% and they’re working to get 800 new ambulances on the road across England
