Joe Thomas ‏@joe_thomas18 3m3 minutes ago Netherton Way is around a 20 minute drive from the Royal. That's a long time for someone stabbed in the arms and legs.

But probably a lot quicker way to get into the ER instead of waiting on an ambulance then being put on hold in the parking lot....

-------------------------

Yes, Google maps shows a 14 to 16 minute drive and the Liverpool ambulances don't respond as quickly as our local AZ services. From NW Ambulance services -

We aim to respond to red 1 and 2 calls within 8 minutes in 75 per cent of cases and 19 minutes in 95 per cent of cases. This is a national target.

Driving was probably better as long as you stay alive enough to make it...:^)

Note that the response times are a "national target" but you would think that a large, densely populated city could do better.
