So - here we finally are. Wednesday 28th November and the Shropshire Star reports that West Midlands Ambulance Trust has announced that Shropshire Control is to close. For the 'resilience' of the Control function overall - of course.

What a complete and utter farce. A decision made months ago - the consultation was a total sham from th more…

Recently Anthony Marsh insulted 16000 Shropshire residents by telling them that the petition they had signed was worthless because of a technicality.

It is time to fight back.

I have been invited to a meeting with Ben Bradshaw, the Minister of State (Health) on the 31st October. (Next Wednesday) and so I have today launche more…

To add to Roy's comment. I think that the approx 100 members of the public at the Shrewsbury meeting, have lost faith and trust in the management of OUR ambulance service in Shropshire.

I know of one Member of the public that has lost faith and trust in you, Mr Marsh and your management team. Me!!!! more…

Dear Mr. Marsh just a line to say what a wonderful job you have done with the Consultation. It is refreshing to see the open way in which you and your Management team have carried the whole thing out from start to finish.

Mis- construing figures. Manipulation of figures words and statements.
The total disregard for staff and more…

How can this Trust be allowed to get away with IGNORING a petition of 16,000 names?

If the petition had been presented after the formal consultation period - fair enough. But just because someone has been proactive enough to get off their bums and get a petition together and then distribute it BEFORE the official start of the consultat more…

Latest news today (19th Sept) on the BBC News website is that - surprise surprise - Worcestershire Primary Care Trust has backed the plan to close Hereford and Worcester Control.

Hardly a great surprise - people who know little or nothing about the ambulance service accepting everything the ambulance managers spoon-feed them.

I have been talking to people about the meeting on the 28th, not one of them knew it was on. and 2 of them did not know about the plan to close control at shrewsbury. so far 4 people have said they are definitely come to the meeting from west of the monford bridge gap.

I told them to spead the news. more…

I think it was celebrated Labour spin-doctor Alastair Campbell who said that when the PR man becomes the story rather than the issue he's trying to manage, he's in deep trouble. I think this sort of applies to Mr McGregor I'm afraid. It could have been handled better - its a shame he has become a front man for the gang that couldn't shoot straight more…

Having been involved as a resident living in Shropshire and not a member of staff from day one,I have been amazed at how Anthony Marsh and his Senior members of staff have conducted themselves with what can only be described as lies,mis- representation incompetence and a very cynical method in which they have avoided to tell the truth over claims p more…

Subject: WMAS Trust Board unfit for purpose

WMAS Trust Board continually tries to convince us that ‘under the
proposals’ a far better level of service will be achieved. They dismiss
the threatened centres as ‘unfit for purpose’ whilst avoiding the
shortcomings of the centres not under threat. They try to mislead us

Interesting link to the Worcestershire page. Even more interesting to read the comments. And *especially* interesting to read the comments of "Ambo999", who clearly would appear to be a manager from WMASNHST but hasn't the guts to identify themselves. (Actually my money would be on one of the PR staff...)

They keep banging on about how more…

I have just read Wednesdays paper and again the West Midlands Management cannot tell it how it really is.

Public consultation? WMAS Trust Board is interested in no other opinion than it's own. Freedom of speech appears to have become as extinct as freedom of information. WMAS Trust Board is doing its utmost to stifle any information that's in opposition to it's own views.

How has patient confidentiality been breached by giving details of more…
