The NHS plans to introduce electric ambulances, but this decision has sparked worries that patient safety might be compromised for the sake of achieving net zero emissions. Paramedics are concerned that the time spent recharging these vehicles could lead to longer wait times for patients, especially in rural areas where the limited range of electric ambulances may pose challenges. This transition, scheduled for next month, is part of a series of initiatives that some whistleblowers fear prioritise environmental goals over medical needs. Critics argue that this emphasis on going green has led to bureaucratic processes diverting significant funds away from frontline services. Additionally, one whistleblower described the obstacles created by these measures as “grossly unethical“ and potentially hindering clinical decisions. Leaked documents reveal that NHS England has established a Greener NHS team with a combined annual salary of £3 million, further highlighting concerns about the allocation of resources. Cristo and Dr Renee Hoenderkamp discuss and take a call from Wayne in Surrey. #news #politics #health #hospital #electricvehicle #evs #talktv #talkradio
