NHS trusts are under extreme pressure, struggling to cope with high levels of demand.
South Central Ambulance Service said it had also declared a critical incident, which is even more severe, "due to current pressures on our services".
"We continue to prioritise our response to those patients with life-threatening and serious emergencies," it said. "But, due to the current levels of pressure we are seeing, there will be delays in responding to other patients with less urgent needs who are assessed as requiring an ambulance response.
"Severe delays in ambulance crews being able to hand over their patients at many hospital emergency departments are having a very significant impact on the ambulance sector's ability to respond to patients as quickly as we would like to, because our crews and vehicles are stuck outside those hospitals."
