West Midlands Ambulance Service apologises for the delay to reach one-year-old Myla in Shropshire.
Parents who waited 36 minutes for an ambulance when their baby "turned blue" have recalled screaming in fear that "no-one's coming to help".
WMAS explained a total of 27 ambulances operating in Shropshire at the time were already attending to patients when the Childs's call came, so the nearest one available was sent from 24 miles away in Herefordshire. "We hoped we'd never have a recurrence, and it's sickened me to the core to think we're back at stage one."
