NON-EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICE IN GREATER MANCHESTER

Early day motion 768, tabled 26 November 2012 by Graham Stringer (Labour). Signed by 11 members.

That this House notes that the Care QualityCommission duringits inspection of the Ambulance Transport Service in Leicestershire run by Arriva found it was not meeting standards in staffing, cleanliness, infection control, safeguarding people who use services from abuse, care and welfare of people who use services and assessing and monitoring service provision; and therefore is appalled that the contract to run the non-emergency ambulance service in Greater Manchester was awarded to Arriva from March 2013.
