I’m not going to get involved in this debate a) because I don’t have the time, and b) because I probably need to be careful with what I say.... but I’ll just say this:
I’ve worked for the Lancashire and more recently the Yorkshire Ambulance Service for well over 30 years. I have never seen our capacity stretched to this point before. I have never seen suffering on this scale before. I have never seen death on this scale before. The mortuary in one of our major hospitals has corpses in the corridors with the doors open to keep them chilled. Nursing staff are dropping like flys.
We are at breaking point, and it’s only the beginning of January.
I bet you can squeal like a pig!
