The fact that the change was made by a government committee and then few of the authorities mentioned to their staff to manually upgrade the priority. I can see many legal cases coming to court now that it has been made public.

I hope whoever decided to introduce the downgrading gets hung. It ain't right!

As far as the committee was concerned I'm sure it was simply minimising the number of instances when they wouldn't meet their targets, helping to protect their bonuses. Obviously didn't understand the knock on effect / impact in real terms. :roll:

Mistakes get made, but this one should have been dealt with a lot sooner.

In which case those bonuses should be repaid back to the government. :x

In which case they should sue the ambulance authority. In many ways the only thing that will get any government department to change is a massive legal payout. Until then they could not give a toss.

Yes but it will come out of part of the authorities funding. So that could mean redundancies or even more cuts elsewhere.

I know but we can only hope that a service has been sued so much that they are forced to sack senior management. Though considering the fiasco over the head of Hackney social services after the Baby P incident they have an attitude of complete safety.

Birmingham recently sacked 6 social workers though no mentioning of managers mentioned. In my opinion the managers are just as culpable, and so should be fired as well.
