Ambulance handovers in Northern Ireland saw waits exceed three hours in over 11,000 cases, up from 400 in 2019-20.
A report reveals a significant decline in ambulance handover performance in Northern Ireland, with handovers taking over three hours rising from 400 in 2019-20 to over 11,000 in 2023-24.
This delay potentially harmed over 36,000 patients and cost around £50 million over five years.
Only 7% of handovers met the 15-minute target, well below the previous rate of 27%.
The report urges collaboration between hospitals and the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service to improve patient handling.
