§ 43. Mr. David Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will see that steps are taken to improve the ambulance services available to deal with emergency cases in the borough of Romsey, Hampshire.
§ Dr. Owen:This is a matter for the Hampshire Area Health Authority to decide. It assumed responsibility for the management of the ambulance service in Hampshire last year and has already improved the ambulance cover for both emergency and routine cases in the locality of Romsey. It is considering the provision of additional ambulance stations in this part of Hampshire in the light of available financial resources.
