I was very pleased to see that Will Hancock, the Chief Executive of the South Central Ambulance service, has admitted that there’s a problem with the number of ambulances we have in Hampshire.
Back in September, the Chairman of the Trust said something very similar when I challenged him at their Annual General Meeting (as reported in the Echo):
To achieve all our targets we need more ambulances, more crews and more money.
Having the problem recognised from the top is a good first step. Â Now we need to see some action to fix it.
