PETER HAMILTON: Could I just ask<br />
Darren to comment, Darren is from Scottish Ambulance<br />
Service <strong>and</strong> Darren if you want to comment.<br />
DARREN MOCHRIE: Yes, no problem,<br />
I’ll pick up a couple of those points. I’m Darren Mochrie, I’m<br />
the General Manager for the Scottish Ambulance Service.<br />
The way we grade calls is based on clinical<br />
need, so if it’s a life threatening 999 emergency call which is<br />
really serious then we aim to get to you within 8 minutes <strong>and</strong><br />
having looked back at our performance since April this year the<br />
Vale of Leven Ambulance Station is performing exceptionally<br />
well against the rest of Scotl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
74 - 75 % mark.<br />

But what I’ll do with that particular issue<br />
that you have raised is I’ll get Bob Miller the Head of Service<br />
to have a wee chat with you afterwards <strong>and</strong> we can look at that<br />
specific case.<br />
We do recognise however at times,<br />
particularly with dem<strong>and</strong> Friday, Saturday nights that we do<br />
face a challenge around resources but what we are doing is we<br />
are working in partnership with <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Glasgow</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clyde</strong><br />
Health Board to ensure that any changes that do impact on the<br />
Scottish Service, that we will put additional resources in place<br />
to ensure that nobody faces any kind of delay.
