HC Deb 06 July 1993 vol 228 c116W
21. Mr. Bates

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on progress towards placing a paramedic on each front-line ambulance.

Mr. Sackville

In December last year, I announced that the paramedic target was to be brought forward by one year to the end of 1995. I am pleased to say that ambulance services and health authorities have responded positively and they are well on the way to achieving the required target.
