Are First Responders being used as a substitute for ambulances?
When you dial 999 for an ambulance are you absolutely clear on who will walk through your door? It could be an ambulance crew or one of a growing number of 'First Responders' — community volunteers trained in basic first aid.

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
