:02:38. > :02:43.First to the rescue was Maureen's son.
:02:44. > :02:51.I helped about five or six clips onto the grass. A young blonde girl

:03:14. > :03:26.one of the young passengers. I went forwards and didn't see

:04:31. > :04:31.already underway. Skid tests were being carried out
:04:32. > :04:34.this afternoon to test the road surface but
:04:35. > :04:45.the inquiry could take some time. What will we be doing is interview
:04:46. > :04:52.both drivers and there will be an investigation going on. We will be
:04:53. > :04:57.looking at CCTV within the buses and externally. We will gather witness

:05:53. > :05:57.are at the infirmary in Newcastle. These were ordinary service bosses,

:06:27. > :06:28.Well, as the investigations continue into the Stanley incident,
:06:29. > :06:30.they bring into sharp focus Look North's investigation into
:06:31. > :06:35.In this case, more than a dozen ambulances were sent to
:06:36. > :06:38.the scene but paramedics have told Look North that on other occasions,
:06:39. > :06:41.they're worried about patients dying because the ambulance service
:06:42. > :06:47.They say they're unable to hit response targets
:06:48. > :06:49.because there are too many calls and not enough ambulances.
:06:50. > :06:51.All this week, Look North's investigating the
:06:52. > :06:55.North East Ambulance Service which has been under attack by
:06:56. > :06:59.For tonight's report, Sharon Barbour was given exclusive
:07:00. > :07:06.access to join an ambulance paramedic team for a 12`hour shift.
:07:07. > :07:09.It's 6am and paramedic Jane Bramley and her team are starting
:07:10. > :07:18.The first 999 call is a patient with chest pains.
:07:19. > :07:31.It could be a heart attack and is classified as life`threating.
:07:32. > :07:33.Life`threatening calls mean paramedics have to reach
:07:34. > :07:35.their patients in eight minutes, the Governments target
:07:36. > :07:49.But if it was a hospital, it would be an incredibly busy one.
:07:50. > :08:00.All the staff are under immense pressure. You know you will not make
:08:01. > :08:11.it in eight minutes. It is upsetting, especially when you know
:08:12. > :08:16.it is a real emergency. They respond to every form of medical emergency.
:08:17. > :08:20.But if it was a hospital, it would be an incredibly busy one.
:08:21. > :08:23.Each day, around 1,700 999 calls are made for an ambulance in the
:08:24. > :08:36.We are dealing with everything. Already today, this ambulance alone
:08:37. > :08:42.has covered nearly 100 miles but all in all, it is a staggering
:08:43. > :08:46.statistic, but North East ambulances covered 10 million miles a year.
:08:47. > :08:49.Each day, around 1,700 999 calls are made for an ambulance in the
:08:50. > :08:52.After assessment, around 1,100 ambulances are dispatched.
:08:53. > :09:12.But under pressure to reach patients whose lives may be
:09:13. > :09:17.at risk can mean others can be left waiting, sometimes for hours..
:09:18. > :09:25.And the pressure on paramedics can be immense.
:09:26. > :09:34.Something has got to break, the pressure is that tie. I just hope
:09:35. > :09:53.it's not increasing people dying. Nobody wants anyone to die.
:09:54. > :10:01.A short time later and a call comes that a young girl has collapsed.
:10:02. > :10:04.the ambulance call centre and dispatch team that decide which
:10:05. > :10:08.calls to go to and when, not the paramedics, but it's they who are on
:10:09. > :10:16.the frontline and who are criticised when things go wrong.
:10:17. > :10:25.They also come under physical attack.
:10:26. > :10:31.As Jane's 12`hour shift nears an end, she tells us why she thinks

:10:42. > :10:47.the day after day pressure is so relentless.
:10:48. > :10:55.Our health reporter, Sharon Barbour, joins me now.
:10:56. > :10:58.You were out on the road with the paramedics.
:10:59. > :11:19.It is tough. Constantly trying to reach this eight minute target. Jane
:11:20. > :11:26.was phenomenal in that it is in her blood and DNA to save lives. She was
:11:27. > :11:32.fantastic with the patients. But then she has also get `` she has
:11:33. > :11:37.also got to get them to accident and emergency, the paperwork, and she is
:11:38. > :11:42.also called out to another caller. It wasn't a day like a bus crash.
:11:43. > :11:52.They said this was a quiet day, so I can't imagine what it is like on a
:11:53. > :11:56.busy day. Tomorrow, we will go into the dispatch centre and call
:11:57. > :12:01.centre, find out what it's like buying the scenes. We will also talk
:12:02. > :12:07.to the Chief Executive and we heard they take 1700 calls a day and
:12:08. > :12:16.arguably, this is where the real stress lies. We saw that sometimes,
:12:17. > :12:19.they are in tears, trying to find an ambulance to send. The chief
:12:20. > :12:25.executive told us the problem was increasing demand and the need for
:12:26. > :12:32.more money. What if you don't get the cash? Then I will deal with the
:12:33. > :12:38.most life`threatening people, save as many lives as I possibly can and
:12:39. > :12:49.others will not get the quality of service that they would like.

:12:57. > :12:59.for forensic medical examinations after reporting a crime.
:13:00. > :13:02.Experts say that puts more pressure on them at a very difficult time.
:13:03. > :13:05.The Police and Crime Commissioner, Richard Rhodes, is working with
:13:06. > :13:10.the NHS, county council and police to set up the centre.
:13:11. > :13:18.It is a major project because the centre it self must contain all
:13:19. > :13:21.facilities for medical examination as well as support and counselling,
:13:22. > :13:27.but it also needs to bear in mind the need for the police to conduct
:13:28. > :13:32.satisfactory is frantic examinations so that there evidence stands up to
:13:33. > :13:34.examination in court. We will be hopeful of getting something up and

:19:01. > :19:05.up, and in that corner of the attic, in one of these old tea chests,
:19:06. > :19:11.there are slides relating to the wall and we also found a box with
:19:12. > :19:17.those letters. He changed a lot through his letters. The first
:19:18. > :19:23.letters seem a very very young man, quite excited, a little bit petulant
:19:24. > :19:28.at times. He became more battle hardened and you can see this in a
:19:29. > :19:29.very short time frame. This resilience comes through in letters
:19:30. > :20:01.water sent to his parents. It was here that the tanks had to
:20:02. > :20:04.fight for their lives as the bass were drunk or drugged. As they
:20:05. > :20:11.swarmed round the tanks in hundreds, we mowed them down like rabbits, but
:20:12. > :20:24.still they came on. Sadly, water died shortly after this letter was

:25:12. > :25:15.East and spreads to most places. Parts of Cumbria may hang on to some
:25:16. > :25:20.dry weather but even in the west, you will get your fair share of the
