Finally, a reality that NFR has long been aware of is being picked up by the mainstream press. The NHS ambulance service has long been in decline.  Increasingly rationed and bureaucratised, it has not only failed me personally (with near deadly consequences) and an ever increasing number of family and friends, but now a woman has been reduced to giving birth on a pavement because she was refused an ambulance.  NFR believes this is just the tip of a very large and yet to be made public iceberg.  Ask around. Talk to your family and friends. In particular, talk to the people you know in our larger cities and remote rural locations and you will find that the collapse of the NHS ambulance service is not so far behind that of NHS dentistry.
