Ted Edwards was at his home in Monmouthshire when paramedics were called at about 00:55 GMT on Saturday, the Welsh Ambulance Service confirmed. Aneurin Bevan Health Board said Mr Edwards' wait "is never acceptable". Janine Vaughan Winter, sister-in-law of patient Mr Edwards from Monmouth, said the family were still waiting to find out what time he was admitted. "We are absolutely appalled," said Ms Vaughan Winter, speaking from her home in Herefordshire.
