NHS: Husband's anger as wife dies after waiting for ambulance in Hull

More than a dozen NHS trusts and ambulance services have declared critical incidents over the festive period, with more than 50 others saying they've been struggling to cope.

Sky's Chief North of England Correspondent Greg Milam reports from Hull, where he's been speaking to a man whose wife died after waiting more than sixteen hours for an ambulance.

Teresa Simpson died at Hull Royal Infirmary in November after suffering a cardiac arrest and lack of oxygen to the brain.
