Ambulance misfuelling incidents putting lives at risk
Ambulance ‘misfuelling’ incidents are said to be putting lives at risk, with campaigners saying misfuelling incidents are threatening patient safety.
According to reports gleaned from a Telegraph Freedom of Information request, there have been more than 750 incidents of “misfuelling” with ambulances since 2012, which can put ambulances out of action for weeks at a time in some cases.
As a result of the issue, some NHS Trusts are said to be trialling alerts to prevent misfuelling incidents occurring.
