It took 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive when my Nephew fell off his bike. he died at the roadside before they arrived.
I do see a lot of ambulances along the route from Exeter and Exmouth so they must get very busy. Maybe they need to pay Paramedics a decent wage to stop them leaving for better paid jobs ?
I have one relative who quit to do administration for the Coroner. Same pay but no shifts or night work.
