When someone has collapsed banged their head on the way down outside, is not responsive but is breathing. So you dial 999 and ask for an ambulance, and when the call is finally answered and the woman wants to ask you questions and after you explain the above, you ask if an ambulance is on it's way to be told that they are very busy tonight and that they can't tell me how long an ambulance will be.

She wants to ask me more questions so I tell her that ordering an Uber to take us to the hospital would be quicker then this messing around, so I tell her that I'm putting her on hold and I use my app to order an Uber that can even tell tell me that It will be 4 minutes before arriving.

This woman then calls me back and tells me that an ambulance is on its way, so I said don't bother my Uber is 3 minutes away and your 999 service sucks and in future I'll be sure to use my app if there are any further emergencies.

As usual with the NHS it's not about how much money they have or even not having enough people being hired in these positions, It's about whoever is coming up with these bright ideas of asking 50 questions before you even send an ambulance. I live in Milton Keynes and you're lucky if you hear one ambulance a week, now if I'm so called busy then you're gonna hear me a whole lot more than once a week. This incident happened at around 10pm so we're not even talking about the so called night clubs, which are really more pubs with small dance floors in Milton Keynes at closing times where the ambulance service might actually have some work to do.
