The region's ambulance service has issued yet another plea to the public ahead of the final weekend before Christmas. For the second time this week, North West Ambulance Service says more than 600 patients in the North West are waiting for ambulances this evening .
A spokesperson for NWAS wrote on Twitter: "Please stop and think before calling 999 tonight! Once again this week we have more than 600 patients waiting for ambulances and we are really sorry that we cannot respond as quickly as our patients expect. "If you really need us, we will get to you but there will be a wait. Only call 999 if someone has a serious illness or injury, you think their life is at risk, and you cannot get them to hospital by any other means.
