HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 cc914-5W
Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what groups are currently represented on the ambulance negotiating body;

(2) what plans she has to widen representation on the ambulance negotiating body, in particular to include ambulance officers and control room assistants.

Mr. Sackville

The staff side of the ambulance negotiating body consists of representatives of the Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel. The management side consists of representatives of national health service bodies and the health departments. The ANB was set up in 1989 to operate in parallel with the existing ambulance Whitley council. There are no plans to include ambulance officers and control room assistants under the purview of the ANB.
