Mr Robert Morton, head of the National Ambulance Service met the Dolphin group 2nd May 2012. In minutes ,obtained by NCHA under the Freedom of information Act , he informs the Group ” Exemptions provided to ambulances do not increase speed in high-traffic areas. An important factor for the National Ambulance Service in relation to location [of the NPH ] is good access to a major thoroughfare eg M50 or other”.
it’ a no-brainer -Connolly hospital on a slip road off the M50 with its hard shoulder emergency lane, wins hands down over St. James’s.
