The responses are very different from the information the witnesses have provided. The points that are raised by a number of paramedics across the board include that staff morale is at an all-time low and that there are high levels of staff turnover. I want to talk about that. I hear everything about recruitment, different managerial roles and positions and how the service is expanding and getting new training and new staff, but I am concerned about the existing staff and the levels of turnover. I will not quote from the survey if the witnesses do not have it with them, but I want to talk about the level of turnover and what the service is doing.
