More patients are being made to wait to get into A&E at Weston General Hospital.

New Great Western Ambulance Service statistics show 28 percent had to wait beyond the hospital's 15 minute target time in January - compared to just 13 percent last August - with some waiting longer than 45 minutes.

GWAS say they have noticed a rise in the number of emergency calls in that time though - and have praised big improvements since the new A&E department opened last year.
