  19. Ambulance call handlers receive 'mixed responses'published at 16:22 GMT 22 January

    A man with a beard and glasses in green ambulance service uniform sitting in an ambulance 999 call centre with computer screens in the background.

    Call handlers at South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) triage all 999 calls to try and provide the right response for patients, which may not always involve sending an ambulance.

    Bosses say it means ambulances go to the most "seriously ill and critically unwell patients".

    Ian Spencer, clinical safety navigator, says when they offer the alternatives - pharmacies, GPs, or urgent treatment centres - they get "a very mixed response".

    "Some people obviously see the frustration that they think it's delaying the help," he says.

    "But actually, for us, it's getting the right care to the right patients at the right time."

    Between 5 and 11 January, SECAmb said it dealt with 22,500 calls, compared to a call volume of about 3,000 in December.

    Cathie Burton, SECAmb operations manager, says they have been dealing with an "unprecedented" number of 999 calls.

    "It's really important that we do respond quickly, effectively and safely to all those calls that come in," Burton adds.

  20. 'Deep concerns' over rumoured new hospital locationpublished at 10:52 GMT 22 January

    Streeting is asked what he can say about the location for the new Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey.

    It's due to replace the current hospital, with construction work expected to begin in 2030.

    Speculation has been rising since December that it will be built on Pine Ridge Golf Club in Frimley, prompting “deep concerns” from Surrey Heath Borough Council.

    Two-thirds of the current hospital was built using reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), which can fail when exposed to moisture, prompting plans for a new building.

    When asked about concerns over the proposed site, Streeting said: “It’s legitimate for local representatives and the community to voice opinions and express concerns, and for us to make sure we get the big decisions right.”
