New London Ambulance Service proposals to introduce non-emergency transport

London Ambulance Service (LAS) have consulted with us about a new service which they are implementing to help them manage the need for emergency ambulances more efficiently.

There is also a poster explaining the new service which can be downloaded here and shared with colleagues.
