South Glamorgan Ambulance Dispute

EDM number 581 in 1989-90, proposed by Rhodri Morgan on 19/02/1990.

That this House commends the professional and vocational devotion to duty shown by ambulancemen on the picket line at the South Glamorgan Ambulance Service headquarters at Blackweir, Cardiff, on the morning of 19th February, when they were requested to attend a multiple lorry and car pile-up in North Road, Cardiff, resulting in two accident victims requiring hospital treatment, one of whom, suffering from a whiplash injury and being medically qualified himself, insisted on transportation to hospital by a professional ambulance team, a decision greeted with relief by the police team also attending the accident as substitute ambulance cover, following the decision the previous day by the Chief Ambulance Officer to block South Glamorgan ambulancemen from using South Glamorgan ambulances in their attempt to provide their own professional emergency and accident service; and further calls on the South Glamorgan Health Authority to continue to give temporary permission for ambulancemen to drive their ambulances to and from road and other accidents as on 19th February pending a solution to the dispute.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
