New Ambulance service for West County comes into force
A new ambulance service covering the entire south west started its care for over 2,000 patients a day yesterday.
The South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT) had swallowed the Great Western Ambulance Service to become one body for the entire region.

"With a larger workforce, we have greater resilience and flexibility to meet the challenges in healthcare in the months and years ahead.
The merger was given the go-ahead by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt last month after a long process in front of a range of boards.
"I know how unsettling the last 14 months have been - but whenever I have met staff across the region, they have been committed and professional" added Mr Wenman.
"On behalf of the board and patients, I would like to thanks and acknowledge that fantastic effort."
