Some people don't deserve the services of The NHS

I find this behaviour really insulting to the people who are only trying to help us.

My experience is that the paramedics are absolutely first-rate and I really don't like to see these professionals knocked. They have a demanding job that they do really well and government targets don't measure that. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

Could the two stories be linked? Errrrr..... I haven't seen the actual report, but the news item does not mention paramedics. 'Staff' includes paramedics of course, but some of the implied issues are as much about Command and Control, supervision and management as the front line ambulance staff.
