Emergency Ambulance Survey

The demand for the 999 emergency service is particularly high this time of the year. This pressure is felt throughout the NHS. For the ambulance service any delay in patient handover means they are unable to respond to other patients. Healthwatch Bury is interested in gathering the views of patients and their carers about their experiences regarding the ambulance emergency service.
