A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said it welcomed any new technology that helped the elderly get prompt treatment for falls. But he added: ‘Our worry would be that if patients don’t know how to use the technology, or it doesn’t work properly, we could end up with inappropriate calls.’ [...] [...] Our good friends at LAS are starting to get worried about their stats again.

I always come out last. I remember traipsing for 55 minutes a few years back into another services area that had lots of cars and very few ambulances, the poor patient we had been called to had no less than four cars on scene attending to him from no less than two ambulance services, we came from a third service and landed just behind another ambulance from the original service. So for one patient - four cars, two ambulances, three ambulance services, confused? I was. Fortunately nowadays it would all be the same service anyhow so it wouldn't be quite as astonishing. Good thing really, I think we shall see more of it. Desperately ill patients waiting for well in excess of the 'golden hour' Bloody great, I work for a different service and part of my responsibility is to put ‘league tables’ together.

What with like a premiership and a third division etc? Will those in the premier league be paid more money and have wives that like to shop. Will the wives develop eating disorders and appear 'airbrushed' in the latest edition of ambulance times. Who will sponser the PremierPara's, will it be Carlsberg, or more likely White Lightening ? I don't think there's an official supplier of heroin with the exception of Afghanistan. My original reason for posting was your 'uk forces killed in action' image at the top, having spoken to the father of a medic in Afghanistan the death toll is apparantly the tip of the iceberg which doesnt reflect the number of horrific physical and mental injuries, which are not being reported.

In 2009 it changes to when EOC pick up the phone, essentially taking 2 or 3 minutes off ORCON times. No doubt times will go down. And when they change the ORCON game in 2009….

So less ambulances, meaning longer waits for transport to hospital? It sounds like there’ll be staff manning cars and less manning ambulances.
