Delays in accepting ambulance patients at hospitals in Shrewsbury and Telford are putting them at "catastrophic risk", West Midlands Ambulance Service has warned.

In September, patients and the ambulance crews with them spent 1,375 hours waiting outside the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. At Telford's Princess Royal Hospital, they waited 768 hours.

Patients are supposed to be handed over within 15 minutes of arriving at A&E.

West Midlands Ambulance Service has been complaining about handover delays at the two hospitals for a number of years.

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said it's an issue across the UK, but apologised and said action was being taken.

This includes prioritising those in the back of ambulances, looking to provide care at home and in the community, and in the longer-term to create more space and beds to look after people within the hospitals.

A cat that spent three days stuck up an oak tree has been rescued by fire crews.

Ruben’s owner, Amanda Holland, said she had tried to coax him down from the tree near her home in Kenwick Springs, Ellesmere, Shropshire, after he ran up it in pursuit of squirrels.

After becoming concerned for his welfare, she decided to call the RSPCA, but its inspector Nayman Dunderdale was unable to reach the cat, which was up about 30 feet (9m).

Mr Dunderdale called Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, which was able to free the animal.

Ms Holland said: “He'd been stuck for three days and two nights in terrible weather and I really don’t think he would have lasted much longer.

"He was in a very precarious position and was just too scared to move from the crook of the tree and come down by himself.”

Mr Dunderdale added: “The weather in the area had been windy, cold and rainy at times, so it would have been an extremely unpleasant experience for Ruben."

In the vast majority of cases, cats are quite capable of getting themselves down from trees, the RSPCA says, so unless there are special circumstances, it advises owners to try to coax down their pet with strong-smelling food, then phone for assistance if the cat has not come down within 24 hours.
