Queensland Ambulance Service has apologised to the family of a Brisbane sixty-nine year old woman who died while waiting nine hours for an ambulance.
This tragedy was one of a number of cases dating back as far as May this year, when information leaked from south-east Queensland Ambulance Networks revealed how Brisbane hospitals were at 190% capacity.
The Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'ath said the case is under investigation after the ambulance workers arriving on the scene cited staffing shortages as the reason for their delay in reaching Judith Hamilton in time.
