§ Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will now make it her policy to ensure that all offers of voluntary overtime by ambulance crews that would fill gaps that would otherwise occur in scheduled rostering are not subject to budget restrictions.
§ Mr. SackvilleAll national health service providers, including ambulance services, must provide services within the resources allocated to them. It is for individual ambulance services to manage overtime levels within the overall staffing budgets and to ensure that staff are rostered to provide services to the public.
