Rethinking the ambulance

Comment

I'm really intrigued by this report - because over 20 years ago I was working for an ambulance manufacturer, and we were building ambulance bodies which substantially embodied the key features listed at the end of the article, although without the modern electronics. I left that area of manufacturing 18 years ago, and I would like to know how things appear to have gone backwards since then, as they must have done if there has been an 18 month consutation exercise to end up with what we was recommended 20 years ago. Can anybody out there provide a history of ambulance manufacture since 1995?
