Hi Tom, the C R A P thing could work (not) however if left in the road they may be run over by the F A R T (s) fast action response team, the orininal rapid resonse car or single responder as it is now known. Lets hope the plan back fires, in an unsuspecting way , not booking patients in = attending more patients per shift = clogging up the A & E dept = crews standing in line in said A & E dept twidddling their thumbs making small talk with patients and relatives = fewer crews now on the road = worstening response times for the few crews not standing in line in A & E = patients not being treated by overwhelmed A & E dept = whist crews are waiting in line, one of said crew may as well go and book patient in etc etc. So any apparent imprvement in orcon we will assume be the result of surepticious massaging of figures. Lets hope the WRVS have mobile tea making facilities and a port loo in tow, would be a shame not to make good use of the waiting time whilst standing in the NOT booking the patient in que!!!!
