  I’m not actually. I’m saying even if they were understaffed and untrained, I’d expect better response times

    Cant have better response times if theres literally no one available in the first place. What point are you trying to make?

    The conservative government for the last decade or more has massively cut NHS funding. Resulting in cases like this.

      Except there was people available. She just wasn’t prioritized. That’s why it made the news

        You seem to be using a definition of “available” that’s different from everyone else.

        When they say “available”, it means someone who is not actively doing something. A paramedic who’s tending to another patient is not an available paramedic.
