HC Deb 02 December 1994 vol 250 cc917-8W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what limitation exists on the total number of hours that ambulance drivers can be called upon to work in any 24-hour period.

Mr. Sackville

Ambulance drivers are subject to the United Kingdom legislation on drivers' hours.

For non-emergency work, these regulations limit driving time to 10 hours a day and impose a daily duty limit of 11 hours.

Any driving in the course of an emergency call-out does not count towards a crew member's daily driving limit, nor to a crew member's daily duty limit.
