This week I met Monitor and CQC to discuss local issues on health and social care providers, particularly our ambulance service. CQC puts all its reports online now (www.cqc.org.uk) - excellent for patients and caring relatives.
It is important to have a good consistent level of assessment and monitoring with sensible, confidential conversations.
Next week I am back at James Page Hospital and early March I am meeting our Ambulance Chair and Chief Executive.

Pleased to see that there are now going to be more ambulances. The one at Saxmundham is nearly always away on calls. I think some of the problems are at the hospital. A relative of mine with a suspected heart attack was waiting in the line of people brought in by ambulance for 2 hours before a cubicle was found, and not until this time could the paramedics sign her off to the doctors. So therefore they couldn't leave to return to Saxmundham.Once again thank you for all your work for the area. Vivienne Harley
