A man has recounted in horror how his elderly mother had to wait four hours for an ambulance after suffering a serious fall at a Brisbane aged care facility.
Jack, who withheld his last name, said his 93-year-old mother broke her hip and ended up needing emergency surgery, a pin and developed pneumonia.
An ambulance was requested about 5pm on April 14, however Jack said one did not arrive until 9.15pm, despite several calls during that period.
Jack took aim at Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Health Minister Yvette D'Ath, claiming they should be outraged.
"We have the Premier raving on about grandstand seats for a future event, but we can't fund ambulances and beds," he said.
