Ms Jacqui McCrum:
The nature of the Civil Defence is that it is a voluntary organisation. It does an amazing amount of work. It is a lifeline across the country. Members do not get paid. That is the nature of the work. It is entirely voluntary. There are 2,400 volunteers. Our job is to make sure that policy is correct, that funding is available and that equipment is as up to date as possible.
