The ambulance service for Lincolnshire lost nearly 19,000 hours last year waiting to hand over patients at the county's hospitals, it's been revealed.
East Midlands Ambulance Service says these delays mean its crews spend less time responding to 999 calls.
The trust which runs Lincolnshire's hospitals has blamed pressures on accident and emergency departments for the delays.
Conservative Martin Vickers said during Prime Ministers' Questions he has previously wished openly that both sides of the Commons can come together and "coalesce" around an agreement.

Here's the latest forecast:
"Very disappointing news" is how a senior councillor on Lincolnshire County Council has described the news that the town's Marks & Spencer store might close.
Around 50 jobs will go at the Boston store.
Quote MessageAs always, we will work with our colleagues at the Job Centre and the local council to support those affected. Marks and Spencer is a big presence in the town centre, and we'll play our part in finding a suitable alternative use for this unit, if the closure goes ahead. This news is a reflection of the difficulties currently facing high street retailers across the country. The future of our high streets is an issue that the council has looked at extensively, and we are ready to help them to evolve away from the traditional, retail-heavy model towards one that's more fitting for the 21st century. That way we can give them a new lease of life, ensuring our town centres remain vibrant."
Councillor Colin Davie, Lincolnshire County Council
Parish councils in Lincolnshire will have to pay up to £300 per light if they want to see their streetlights switched back on.
Thousands were switched off by Lincolnshire County Council in an effort to save money.
The authority also says parish councils will have to agree to pay for full streets at a time to be switched on, not just individual lights.
Quote MessageIt would be for a whole named street. So it could be a couple of the lights on an individual close or it could be a dozen on a named high street through the centre of a village."
