UK patients "at risk" under new ambulance plans

Last Updated: 2007-12-11 10:45:01 -0400 (Reuters Health)

By Andrew Hough

LONDON - Patients' lives could be put at risk under new plans to use ambulances with just one person to respond to emergencies, paramedics and doctors in the UK said on Tuesday.

In an attempt to meet new response time targets, NHS bosses are planning to introduce more solo response crews to respond to calls, instead of traditional two-man teams, the BBC reported.

"We are trying to do things on the cheap and that is never good for patients," said Jonathan Fox, from the Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel.

Under new plans to be introduced by the government in April -- part of the so-called "call connect" program -- ambulance trusts will have to respond to three quarters of 999 calls within eight minutes from when the call is made.

At present, response times start from when the patient's personal details, such as the address, phone number and the problem, are logged. More than 6.5 million emergency calls are made in Britain annually.

The BBC said that nine of Britain's 10 ambulance trusts put proposals to the government to use more "solo-responder" crews, which they claim will free up resources to answer more calls.

The government has claimed the changes and the way response times were measured would save lives but Fox disputed that.

"We are already hearing of solo responders transporting patients but that is not right as you cannot manage the patient if you are driving," Fox, who is also a solo-responder driver, told the BBC.

"Solo responders have their place, but the emphasis now is on hitting the eight-minute target rather than what is happening once you are there."

His comments were echoed by Unison and the British Emergency Medicine Association.

In a statement, Health Minister Ben Bradshaw, said that introducing more single response teams would "free up resources for other calls and help to optimise performance".

"Fast response vehicles can often get to the scene faster than traditional ambulances and can provide assessment and care until a further response arrives," he said.
