What the petition asks
Emergency ambulances are attending people who misuse the NHS wasting valuable time and stopping those that really require emergency treatment.Those that abuse the system should be fined by Ambulance crews for wasting time, Using up limited resources and potentially risking Someone's life .
Recently reported by the Daily mail and by various Ambulance service trusts there has been an increase of attendances to A+E via ambulances who do not need to be there . This is impacting the services response times and causing them to be fined millions. This reduces new staff employed, Newer vehicles and a increase of paramedics leaving the profession due to increasing pressures by those that abuse the system. Implementing a charge will act as a deterrent to ward of those that abuse the NHS.
