ENGLAND’S chief inspector of hospitals is inviting members of the public to tell his inspectors what they think of the services provided by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
Their views and experiences will help inspectors decide what to look at when they inspect the ambulance trust next month.
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is the third of England’s ten ambulance service trusts to be inspected under radical changes which have been introduced by the Care Quality Commission. It covers all Yorkshire, serving a population of about five million people living within its 6,000 square miles.
CQC’s formal inspection of the trust will start on January 14.
Inspectors will be visiting emergency operations centres where 999 calls are received.
Anyone who wishes to give their views to the inspection team can do so by visiting http://www.cqc.org.uk/syeyorkshireambulance, by writing to CQC, Citygate, Gallowgate, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4PA or phoning 03000 616161.
