As usual an important document in the proposed re-organisation has been produced and it has taken a couple of emails to EMAS to get a copy. There is a new proposal as to how EMAS will reorganise the Ambulance Stations (there is a copy here – Update on the Latest Proposals for the EMAS Estate.pdf) […]

Last night John Mann has an Adjournment Debate in the House of Commons and he chose once again to highlight just how out of touch with reality he is.   He chose to highlight the re-organisation of EMAS, in itself a very proper subject for debate. He started off describing in great detail the problems that […]

On Monday 17th September EMAS are stating their consultation on closing Ambulance stations and moving to a system of hub and stand-by points.  On Friday I received a briefing document and the Consultation document for you to read. I hope you feel like me that the most important part of the Ambulance Service is not […]

As promised here is the response from Phil Miligan to the letter I sent on earlier in the week (see EMAS Reorganisation).  As requested, Mr Miligan has provided much of the detailed information I requested in two attachments, one which gave the breakdown of the response statistics across the region over the last 6 months, […]

Yesterday I wrote a letter to Phil Milligan, Chief Executive of EMAS asking for reassurances that the number of emergency response vehicles that will be normally stationed in Bassetlaw will  not change if the Ambulance Stations in Worksop & Retford are closed.  I have also asked the EMAS to provide the following information: The list […]
