Re: An NHS Tradition
by johnthedog
The problem is that our service is based on trust. We trust the general public to use good sense when deciding to call an ambulance. What sort of kick people get out of doing this I am at a loss to know. We recently had to go to a 'frequent flyer'. The police turned up at the same time. She left, not in our truck but in a police van in handcuffs being charged with wasting police time. It was obvious that she had mental health issues which were not being addressed. Once again, the police and ourselves end up plugging the gaps in the social care system.
