Instead of a regular ambulance taking people to an acute hospital, which can often be an inappropriate place for someone in a mental health crisis, our crews can triage people at home and arrange appropriate follow up care.
Duncan Moore of the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust, said: “From patient feedback, it was clear the importance of treating patients in mental health need in the right environment which is often away from a busy emergency department. This initiative will also help with an ever-increasing demand being placed on the region’s ambulance Trust and the wider healthcare system.”
“In education there are concerns about who will be included in the following prioritisation of vaccination cohorts after the first four have been dealt with.”
Mr Medd replied that since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic “a significant multi-agency approach to communications and engagement has been implemented within Fenland”.
He said regular updates had been provided to both elected members and the public.
He said the council uses press releases, its website, social media and “individualised resident correspondence where appropriate” to get over their messages.
There had also been ongoing communications with businesses where Government business support grants are concerned, and public statements made by the director of public health, Dr Liz Robin”.
