:01:34.:01:36.

eventual inquest. That tragic news comes on the very

:01:37.:01:41.

day the RNLI launched a campaign called Respect the Water, following

:01:42.:01:45.

the release of shocking new figures The RNLI in Blyth say some people

:01:46.:02:12.

apologised after a woman waited nearly four hours for

an ambulance, following an `ccident It was nearly three hours bdfore

:04:51.:04:53.

a paramedic arrived, and another hour before an ambulance took her

:05:45.:05:49.

for these lack of resources? Is it the government,

:05:50.:05:53.

with their imposition of the cost improvements plan,

:05:54.:05:57.

forcing the Trust to make s`vings? Is it the Department of Health,

:05:58.:06:00.

with their new workforce plan and commissioning arrangements that

is causing the lack of resotrce The North East Ambulance Service

at the three`quarter mark. But Miley put

in a storming finish and whhle Aimee set a new personal best timd she had
