There is something in it for the National Ambulance Service given that decisions are being made and the ambulance crew are not able to make the decision because they are being managed by the people co-ordinating the transfer. My issue is whether they are consulted when an inquiry is held. They have a lot of expertise and experience and if they are not consulted when an inquiry is held then a valuable piece of information is lost in any such inquiry.
