:09:33. > :09:33.with paramedics.The Yorkshire Ambulance Service has denied that
:09:34. > :09:36.patient safety will be compromised by the staff changes. Crisphn Rolfe
:09:37. > :09:40.has been following this story. Why are the Unions unhappy with these
:09:41. > :09:49.Well, Unison, the union representing ambulance staff here, says this is
:09:50. > :09:51.precisely the situation that they were assured wouldn't come to pass.
:09:52. > :09:54.Emergency care assistants p`ired on ambulances not with a qu`lified
:09:55. > :09:56.paramedic, but with each other ` something the union claims hs
:09:57. > :09:59.unacceptable, because ECAs `re only trained to carry out first `id, and
:10:00. > :10:02.basic life support, as part of their role in driving an ambulance.
:10:03. > :10:05.Now Unison says it'll ballot staff in Yorkshire over industrial action,

:10:10. > :10:10.How has the Yorkshire Ambulance Service reacted
:10:11. > :10:13.Well, the Yorkshire Ambulance Service say
:10:14. > :10:15.their focus is on patient s`fety, and they insist they're
:10:16. > :10:21.Well, Yorkshire has been ond of the last places in the UK to adopt

:10:31. > :10:34.Unison's Ray Grey will be lhve on our late bulletin tonight at 10 30.
:10:35. > :10:37.It puts them in a difficult situation where they turn up in an
:10:38. > :10:40.emergency. The public expect them to be paramedics and they are not. The
:10:41. > :10:59.public and not get the paraledics they expect. It is clearly down to
:11:00. > :11:08.money, not having a fine. They say, we still have a small number of care
:11:09. > :11:12.assistant working, and if one crew happens to be closest to a serious
:11:13. > :11:18.incident, it makes sense for them to attend as a first responder in
:11:19. > :11:23.addition to a clinician. Yorkshire has been one of the last pl`ces to
:11:24. > :11:26.adopt emergency care assist`nt, but it is common to pair them whth
:11:27. > :11:32.clinically qualified practitioners. Unions insist that to do anxthing
:11:33. > :11:45.less potentially places staff in a difficult position and potentially
