However, consultant and head of the Emergency Ambulance Service (EAS), Dr David Byer said that with two new vehicles expected to arrive later this year, they will be in a better position to respond to the 15 000 calls received annually. He was responding to a query from this newspaper after ambulances were seen parked at Nassco’s River Road, St Michael workshop. He explained that their mechanical maintenance programme was carried out by the QEH’s mechanics and Nassco.
