one in ten ambulances waited almost an hour and a half outside a&e departments to drop off patients in scotland last week. latest figures give an insight into the pressure the service is under at the moment. and, the long waits outside hospitals have a knock—on effect on how quickly teams can get back on the road. bbc scotland's health correspondent, lisa summers, has spent a shift with one crew based in edinburgh. is the feeling in your chest... is it pain, or...? is it pain in your chest? we are getting the help there to you as quickly as we can. they're coming as the highest priority. what we don't know at this point is how far she's fallen. another clearly stroke, with - a patient who's now unconscious. this is now a red call. we are on our way to a 75—year—old lady at the ocean terminal shopping centre. she's got a leg injury and head injury. i'lljust lift your ankle up a wee bit, and then we'lljust feed this underneath. incidents like this are the type of everyday cases that paramedics moira shaw and blair paul deal with.
1:45 pm
it's not a life—threatening injury, but their patient needs to be seen at hospital. but so far, there's no room at a&e. have you got any idea how long you're going to be here? not really. so this is really pretty much an everyday occurrence now. so it's that sort of domino effect that patients are waiting to move to other areas, a&e gets clogged up, so we have to wait in the ambulance when we arrive until there is a space to take them in. ambulance turnaround times are one of the main reasons for delays getting to calls. last week, one in ten ambulances in scotland waited almost an hour and a half outside and emergency department to drop off patients. all of that has a knock—on effect on how long it takes to get back on the road. i just worry about the people who are waiting hours and hours and hours for the ambulances. and from what can be quite a lower queue call when it comes in, these people are waiting nine, ten hours before they get an ambulance. and actually, these
1:46 pm
are the sickest people. we do think, had we been able to get there earlier, could that have made a difference? and i would say definitely, in some cases, it would have. since october last year, the ambulance service has been at a critical alert level. just this week, it's been lowered, a sign that things are slowly improving. hello, its ambulance control, how can i help you? - staff at the control centre say it's been really difficult to deal with some of the calls when they didn't get the help quickly enough. it's heartbreaking when we say that, it genuinely is, particularly if it is repeat call after repeat call after repeat call when you're telling them the same things, that we're sorry we haven't got an ambulance to you. for the crew on the road, another call comes in. this is what the paramedics want to do, they want to be out on the road, getting to help their patients. they're on their way now to a category red call. it's somebody who's unconscious, with a suspected stroke. this patient is 98 and needs urgent attention. feeling sick?
1:47 pm
and have you got any pain? the paramedics are getting her to hospital as quickly as possible. itjust went a bit mad tonight. so we've just taken in a lady who might have been having a stroke. there's been a cardiac arrest coming and there's also been a stabbing, who's just self—presented. like other parts of the health service, paramedics say they're seeing sicker patients, as well as some who feel they've nowhere else to turn for help. maybe theyjust haven't been able to get through to their gp and they phoned 999. while we're attending somebody that doesn't necessarily need an ambulance, somebody who really does either waits a lot longer or, you know, sometimes, we're just too late. another busy shift is almost over and some respite may lie ahead, but covid has hit the whole of the nhs hard, with no clear route to getting back on track. lisa summers reporting.

i will be back again. time for a look at the weather forecast now. hello there. things are warming up this weekend. high pressure will be building in. we should see increasing amounts of sunshine. those temperatures creeping into the low 20s, particularly across central and southern areas. but we're still in the rather cool and breezy air mass at the moment. and today is going to be certainly one of those quite windy across the north, with plenty of showers here, but some good sunny spells further south, closer to an area of high pressure, which will continue to build across the near continent. so for the rest of the afternoon, it looks dry for many, more sunshine around across england and wales to what we had yesterday, variable amounts of cloud, the odd shower around. but most of the showery bursts of rain will be across scotland, northern ireland, especially the north west of scotland, where it'll be quite windy. low teens here, but we could see the mid to high teens further south. now through this evening and overnight it stays dry for much of england and wales, there will be further patchy rain
1:57 pm
showers across the northern half of the country. and again, it's going to remain quite breezy for all, but especially in the north. temperature wise, i think lows of eight to 11 degrees, maybe a degree or so milder than what we had the previous night. for friday. it's going to be quite windy across the northern half of the country, even gales in exposure across the north and west of scotland. plenty of showers, even longer spells of rain. the further south that you are, though, it will be breezy, it won't be quite as windy. and we should see increasing amounts of sunshine and the temperatures creeping up further because it's 21 or 22 degrees across the southeast, 14 to 16 degrees in the north. so here it is, this building area of high pressure into the weekend. it starts to draw up some warm, humid air from the south and that could even bring the chance of some thundery showers with it later on saturday and into sunday. saturday itself doesn't look too bad. that area of high pressure is building in so the winds will be lighter. we should see a good deal of sunshine around, so most places will be warmer, but particularly so across southern areas where we could see 22, 23 degrees. signs of the thundery plume just getting into southern areas, bit of uncertainty to where this area of showers will move up from. but it could be anywhere along
1:58 pm
the south coast, and then pushing towards the midlands, the southeast, into the early hours of sunday — there will be some thunderstorms mixed in as well. through sunday that a plume of showers, perhaps thunderstorms moves a little bit further northwards. but essentially there's going to be a lot of dry weather around on sunday, with temperatures again into the low 20s in the warmest spots and feeling a bit humid.
