Do the witnesses think that the infrastructure in the ambulance services generally, including the number, quality and condition of ambulances, is in accord with what one would expect in an ambulance service responding to emergency cases and the need to be ready and in tip top order at all times? I refer to how the ambulance service works nowadays. For example, ambulances had to wait at hospital when delivering patients and were ticking over while waiting to go to the next call. They were out of service throughout the waiting period at ambulance bays in hospitals. To what extent has that been eliminated?
