Great ambulance service

-

Ambulance services have received bad press recently but I would like to set the record straight on a personal level.

You may say because I live in a relatively small town I have much easier access to an ambulance.

This is not necessaril­y the case as very often ambulance staff have to travel to isolated areas and can be delayed for some time.

On Wednesday last, I had to request an ambulance. From first phone call to ambulance arrival was approximat­ely seven minutes and treatment, from beginning to end with a happy outcome, was amazing, cheerful, efficient and reassuring. The follow up treatment at accident and emergency was equally efficient and I was sent home a very happy lady. Thank you to everyone involved.
