Mr. Ted Kenny:

That would be quite true, yes. The resources are not there. That is what we are saying about the capacity review. That is the fundamental argument we have. At the moment the National Ambulance Service has approximately 2,000 employees. Scotland, the nearest comparable service the NAS has looked at, has 5,000 personnel. We are behind. The investment in the service has not been there for the past six or seven years. It is shocking and to the detriment of the service that this has been allowed to happen.
