So in the past few days we have had



An Ambulance getting lost between Mablethorpe and Grimsby



An Ambulance travelling 23 miles to from Bardney to Lincoln



A woman having to wait 3 hours for 999 Ambulance



EMAS seem to have a total arrogant disregard for public concern with their 
spokesperson commenting "We don't have sufficient time to look into the 
detail to respond to this." "EMAS is a 24/7 service. We answer 500,000 
emergency calls per annum and that's our priority."

What arrogance - Surely the fact is they DIDN'T answer these Emergency 
calls.

I even bet EMAS spent a small fortune sending that spokesperson on a 
Customer Service/ How to handle the Media course



The public have a right to require answers and a right to a proper service.

I've seen a newspaper report on this one. The driver took a wrong exit 
on a roundabout, and turned back at the first safe opportunity.

Weird, they do have GPS navigation.

But there was something in the first story about "receiving routes", 
which may mean getting onto a main road quickly, and a standard route 
into town, and they said the driver should have known the route better.

It does sort of fit with the Bardney case: did the ambulance go to 
Wragby, from where it's a pretty good run into Lincoln and the Hospital? 
Yes, Greetwell Road looks pretty good, but you could lose a lot of time 
between Fiskerton and Bardney. Those roads are not good for fast travel.

Crossing the river and coming into Lincoln from the south? That could be 
a bit dodgy.

It's not a simple thing, and no answer is the best every time.

And, yeah, they should be able to explain this. Maybe you should ask 
what didn't get into the news story.
