The impact of roadworks in the capital on ambulance services - a public meeting of the London Ambulance Service Patients Forum on Monday night at City Hall

The Ambulance Service is meeting at City Hall on Monday night to discuss how roadworks and utilities works in the capital are impacting on ambulance services. The situation has become really bad. One basic example is when the tunnels under the Thames are blocked or closed for repairs or traffic jams, resulting in massive gridlock. This is a real issue for emergency medical services in London and the Chair of the Transport Committee is being invited to speak along with a London Ambulance Service Manager. We will also be discussing the community responders project and the report back from the national ambulance design project.
