Steve Webb MP - Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary
In the House of Commons yesterday the Liberal Democrat's Shadow Health Secretary, Steve Webb MP, called upon the government to make a speedy decision in the dispute over Staffordshire Ambulance Service First Responders being refused permission to use three pain killing drugs.
Staffordshire Ambulance Service was praised by Steve Webb as being the best in the country and insisted that the position be resolved immediately. He was speaking in an Emergency Debate about the withdrawal of the drugs, which have been used for several years by First Responders.
"Will the Minister recognise the urgency that has been expressed in many of the speeches and try to resolve the inconsistencies where different legal or clinical advice has been given to ensure that the people of Staffordshire get the first-class ambulance service to which they have become accustomed?"
