The problem as it seems is that there would never be a chance later on unless they rigidly enforced their law supported break.

The problem, as usual, is capacity. Not enough ambulances and crew to cover for people on a break.

Moral of the story to me: Don't ever go to Scotland

SlowlyDownward is spot on. Ambulance crews would never get a break if it wasn't enforced properly.

As people have said, this is nowhere near as bad as the headline writers will make out, public services in this country will get a battering again, giving more strength to the myth that our health services are not far off third levels, a myth which an astonishing number of people seem to actually believe is true. makes me cross.

Can't see a massive problem myself. The guys have to get their break otherwise they'd never eat. The problem is with the lack of cover, nothing else.

The Daily Mail will doubtless have a field day with it though.
