Ambulance Services

North Wiltshire MP James Gray saw at first hand how Great Western Ambulance Service crews are coping in the current snowy weather when he spent Friday morning accompanying a crew responding to 999 emergencies. Mr Gray met GWAS staff and Chief Executive David Whiting at Malmesbury Ambulance Station before going out with a crew.

Mr Gray said: “The visit was an excellent opportunity to see at first hand the hard work of our ambulance service staff in Wiltshire. I was immensely impressed by the sheer professionalism, determination, caring yet unselfconsciously cheerful approach of all of the people I met. They do a great job on the ground and their dedication during the additional hazard of such difficult weather conditions was remarkable.”

North Wiltshire MP, James Gray, has expressed his concerns over the proposal by the Great Western Ambulance Service, to make the Wiltshire Air Ambulance available to ambulance services throughout the rest of the region.

In a letter to Tim Lynch, the Chief Executive of the Great Western Ambulance Service, regarding the proposals, Mr Gray said: “if you have any such thoughts, perhaps it is worth recording that I, and I know many thousands of people across Wiltshire, would be wholly opposed to it. Not only do we fund it, but also a large rural area like Wiltshire surely has need of a dedicated air ambulance for our county alone. For similar reasons, I was opposed to the amalgamation of the Wiltshire Ambulance Service and the creation of the regional service, and I believe that recent reports bear out the wisdom of that view."

Figures unearthed by the Conservative Shadow Health team using the Freedom of Information Act have shown that Wiltshire ranks third from the bottom in the performance of ambulance trusts nationwide, North Wiltshire MP James Gray revealed today.

“I am seriously considered that the speed at which our local ambulances are reaching emergencies in Wiltshire is deemed to be the third worst in the entire country,” Mr Gray said, speaking from Westminster this afternoon.

“The Government target is for 75% of serious emergencies (‘Category A’) to be reached within 8 minutes. But performance in Wiltshire is just 54.28%. Conservatives have expressed serious concern about the postcode lottery in health care for a long time, but the results obtained by my colleague Stephen O’Brien MP show just how widespread this is. The Health Secretary’s own PCT comes in at ninth worst in the country, but overall, the worst performing PCTs are in primarily Conservative and rural constituencies, whereas the best cover Labour areas.”
