Topic: Some apologies required
Posted by: Gordon Southwell

The revelation that Ealing Council never actually consulted the ambulance service is shocking although where the blame actually lies is hard to tell at this stage. I am inclined to believe Julian Bell wouldn't have categorically said consultation had taken place if he knew it actually wasn't true.

That aside, I owe the ambulance service an apology for having implied there head office would have waived through these plans for political reasons without listening to the concerns of the paramedics on the ground.

Christina Fox deserves accolades for making sure this issue was brought to public attention and the people who called into question her good faith should be saying sorry to her.

The editor of this site also deserves apologies from some people who questioned the veracity of her reporting. I understand a vexatious complaint was made to the regulator about the article which not surprisingly was dismissed but it takes courage to stand up to people so dedicated to only their opinions being aired. It invaluable to the community to have an authoritative news source. The council can dismiss posts on social media as just self-reinforcing noise but not properly produced news.

The paramedics also deserve an apology. Their concerns were minimised and dismissed and people presumed that they would know how to do their jobs better than the professionals.

Finally, the local people who have been sick or injured and had what will have been one of the most distressing times in their life made worse by a delay to an ambulance deserve the biggest apology of all.
