Queen’s Park footballer Charlie Fox waited 10 hours for ambulance

Earlier this year the Scottish government apologised to footballer Brooke Paterson, 19, who waited five hours for an ambulance while lying on a pitch with a broken leg.
She was injured while playing for Linlithgow Rose away at Cumbernauld United in North Lanarkshire.
The Scottish government said that ambulance crews had responded to 547 life-threatening incidents during the week of 20 October, with a median response time of eight minutes and 20 seconds.
They said hundreds of extra staff had been recruited for the ambulance service last year.
Meanwhile Fox is awaiting the results of an MRI scan to show the severity of the injury.
Queen’s Park head coach Sean Crighton said the club were devastated for the defender, who he described as a huge presence and an immensely popular figure at the club.
He added: “I have been to visit him at home, as have the coaching staff and players, and we hope to see him back around the club and training base sooner rather than later.
“Due to the swelling around the affected area we are still waiting on scan results before we decide on the next steps in his treatment.”
