§ Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Health what steps he has taken to ensure the efficiency of the ambulance service in Swindon; and whether he has yet called for an investigation into the delay in attending the victim of an accident on the night of 11th November.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe duty to provide an ambulance service is placed by statute upon the local health authority, which appears to be carrying out its obligations with a proper sense of responsibility. I am informed that there was no unreasonable delay in dispatching an ambulance in this case.
