The ambulance remained in the car park as there was no time to drive Tammy to the hospital, to deliver the 8lb 9oz baby.

Tammy Hall who is already a mother to 3 other children said: “I could not believe it, my mum said let’s go to the bingo tonight to get my mind off things as I was 2/3 days late. I thought I may win a prize and I certainly did, the biggest prize of all a new healthy baby boy. The staff were incredible and so calm and caring, a special thank you to Phil who realised I was in distress, Larry who then phoned the ambulance and Kairen who remained with me until the ambulance arrived”.
