Today, John Whittingdale joined fellow Essex Members of Parliament in a meeting with Tom Abell, the Chief Executive Officer of East England Ambulance Service.
John was able to raise his concerns with about ambulance response times in the Maldon constituency- particularly in the Dengie. He was encouraged to hear that the Ambulance Service is employing an extra 111 staff, and will be hiring an extra 13 fully crewed ambulances to ensure effective coverage across South Essex.
John looks forward to meeting Tom and the ambulance team next month at the Control Centre at Broomfield Hospital and Maldon Ambulance Station.
