On the Chair's reference to the ambulance service, disappointingly, I have to concur with him. While I also believe we have ambulance providers and those who deliver as paramedics, etc., who are wonderful people, there is a huge problem in relation to the service itself. I have reported many incidents from my office but have not received any responses. These are incidents where there was delay of more than six hours and there has been no explanation for that. That is in my locality. I am not interested in visiting the centre but I am interested in getting an answer as to why these things happen.
I know no service is perfect but I would appreciate if we could collaborate in some way to get that sorted.
