before very long, there is going to be another catastrophe. How can the UK bang on about having no cash, when there is such poor coordination of multi million pound assets. It would make more sense if everything came under a central coordination cell.
Additionally, I think some of it is the sexification of the ambulance service. I wonder if anyone else remembers in the mid 90s, when they went from being ambulance drivers to paramedics? Out came the green overalls and sexy batenburg ambulances. You never saw them before that, but suddenly they became demi gods.
Paramedics are tremendous and do not get paid half their worth, but the NHS and ambulance services seem to be too busy looking good, and failing on the basics. HEMS and its benefits are extremely worthwhile (look how many TT riders have benefitted) but perhaps we should be running after learning to walk.
Does anyone remember the fire service trialling a Bolkow in London? Now that WAS a case of too busy looking good!!!
