So would the police or trumpton allow their control to work in such a way? Someone dials 999 and asks for the police...a police officer gets told on his/her radio to proceed with all haste...to nowhere yet! Someone dialss 999 and asks for trumpton...a fire engine is activated and told to go mobile...just wait on the forecourt with blues & twos going until we find out where to! Police then get an address (same in trumptons case) and are sent to said location still waiting for nature of incident to be confirmed! Both police & trumpton get stood down as control finally get reason for callers call...'What time is the next train to London?' Sounds daft??? It happens in the ambulance service, day in day out. Call connect is the worst thing to happen to the service in years!!! If its so good then why dont the police and trumpton use it? Answer, they have a bit of common sense! I've said it before...someone is going to die through being sent to an iffy job or crashing their vehicle on yet another pointless turn out. Before call connect we were getting hammered for jobs. Now we are getting malleted. I know we can only do one job at a time but management still get onto us if we dont turn round at A/E quick enough or miss the ORCON target.
