BOB Neill got an insight into the work of a paramedic when he became an ambulance man for the day.

The MP for Bromley and Chislehurst visited the ambulance station in St Paul’s Cray to chat about issues affecting the London Ambulance Service.

He then joined paramedics Robert Ash and Ryan Powell for a shift where they were called to a man in his 50s who had been taken unwell and an unconscious woman in her 90s.

Mr Neill said: “The staff clearly approach the life and death decisions they face every working day with a huge amount of professionalism.

“The majority of us are likely to call upon the ambulance service at some stage in our lives and this visit reaffirmed my view that we should all have absolute confidence in our local ambulance team.”
