This report was published as a scan, so its text was read automatically. Check the wording against the original before you quote it.
— BRIEF SUMMARY OF MATTERS OF CONCERN (1) At the time of this incident, demand on the EEAS far outstripped the resources available to them. (2) That the current position regarding demand outstripping available resources is not significantly different to that in May 2017. (3) That the demands placed on the EEAS by the public are not sustainable. With, in the region of, only 60% of ambulance attendances resulting in admission to hospital for urgent care. (4) That there are still significant delays on hand-over to hospital, exacerbating the lack of Ambulances being available to answer emergency Calls.
