Delta Ng - Time to hospital

Are you saying that the road situation is now such that an emergency vehicle can be 'returned-to-service' in an acceptable time frame?

Maybe that's the case in some areas - that's progress. Maybe not so easy to achieve in the more difficult rural areas.

In which case is this business of 'policy' overshadowing the possibility of using the AA in it's role as 'force-multiplier'?

ie, being operated for the maximum benefit of the Ambulance Service as a whole.

Is there an argument therefore, in favour of a review of current dispatch criteria? Are we using the potential of the AA to its maximum?
