South Yorkshire Ambulance Service

EDM number 83 in 1990-91, proposed by Terry Patchett on 16/11/1990.

That this House expresses its strongest possible opposition to the decision of the Chief Metropolitan Ambulance Officer for South Yorkshire to register initial interest in turning the Service into a National Health Service trust; deplores the fact that he announced his intention without consulting the workforce; congratulates the Service on the high standards maintained as presently organised; believes that the suggested change would inevitably result in a reduction in standards, the imposition of charges on patients, or both; and urges the Chief Officer not to proceed with an idea which will be strongly opposed by the residents of South Yorkshire

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
