Ambulance concerns to be raised by MP
Concerns about the ability of the East of England Ambulance Trust to meet emergency response times will be raised by North Norfolk MP and Health Minister Norman Lamb later today.
Earlier this week the Trust started putting an extra 15 vehicles on the road each day to improve services. It then emerged that there aren't enough staff to crew them.
New ambulances 'not ready'
It had promised 15 new ambulances to improve response times in our rural areas but today (Tuesday) the East of England Ambulance Trust admitted it's struggling to get them up and running.
And the problem is people. With no new recruits for at least another month there simply aren't enough of them to staff the extra vehicles.
Extra ambulances introduced
The East of England Ambulance Service, which has been criticised in the past over response times, is introducing 15 extra ambulances from today.
The service says it's also recruiting 75 new paramedics and 124 care assistants to cope with demand.
