Description

London ambulance service NUPE organiser Chris Humphreys(?) talks to Angus Moorat about the claims made by London ambulance chief, Tom Crosby, that crews were acting illegally by responding to direct calls by the public to the stations, bypassing the 999 number, in the present dispute. Humphreys responds to claims that crews would be uninsured and using vehicles without the owners consent and says the replacement services are inadequate.
