Verbatim
“We recognise that ambulance hours lost represent patients waiting in the community for an ambulance and reducing these delays is a key priority.”
“We're not underestimating the changes that we are introducing. They are significant, and disruptive in some respects to the way people work. But I think one of the biggest things is, having taken the time to build the correct leadership, people will understand why we're doing it.”
