Easy answer to that! Pay them more and they can work (even) better and less stressed than if they do not have a Break. Does the govment have a department of Joined Up Thinking?

It get's worse they get given time slots to have a break say 1pm-3pm if they don't have chance to take it in the time given. The crew are stood down sent back to ambo station to allow them to have the break. So not only is it costing money but reduces vehicles available.

Are they allowed to carry their own sandwiches/packed lunch and a flask/bottle in the front cab?

I have a question with pertinence to medical matters. The Patient has been told he should borrow a Blood Pressure Monitor from the Surgery for four days, to measure his blood pressure.

The sugary surgery is within walking distance, so I if ask one of my neighbours (who often asks if there is anything she can do) to fetch it for him, is the Monitor very heavy? The last bit of the walk from the surgery is up a fairly steep hill.

Not really no, take it its a simple basic auto self use machine? anything else would need fitting eg 24 hour Continuous monitor.
(Quick check shows Basic one is 250-300ish grams)

Yes if they wish ambos are always eating something or other when i've been around them.
Official breaks they need to inform control 1st so if they don't have time to do so then control recall them allowing them to have a formal break.

Lots of cheap and good ones to choose from here. I used a Lloyds own brand that's on there and it does a perfectly good job for cheap

I have an Omron one. I've just put it on the kitchen scales. 500gr without the box. So 1.1lb.

Erm, does this water have an additive that makes it taste less like water?
Will you really get 27 tonnes in that wagon?
Or have I missed a lot by sleeping

I have had a 24hr one fitted to me at the surgery and it is not heavy. A bit disconcerting until you get used to it is the only issue.

I've had a busy day. Ride into town to attempt to find a human being to talk to, face to face, in the Council Offices!!
Then sign up to a new GP surgery on my way back. Dog walked and quite a bit of gardening (including building a small dry stone wall 😎) and the swing seat proofed ready for Spring / Summer.

I managed to fit ½ an hour snooze in, too!! 😂

You found a GP? Well done

David Attenborough is planning a new series on endangered species.
GPs (House doctors) and dentists are first. He's open to suggestions for other suitable candidates.


He abandoned the reputable politicians. UNESCO gas just declared then extinct.

Oh, dear me, no
