HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 cc317-8W
51. Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider arrangements for dealing with road and motorway accidents in order to ensure the establishment of an on-the-spot medical treatment team where considered necessary.

Mr. Alison

Ambulance crews are trained to give assistance to casualties at the site of the accident and during their transit to hospital centres equipped to provide effective treatment. They can also, if they consider it necessary, call for medical aid to provide medical treatment at the site of the accident.
