Closed petition Make it a criminal offence to purposely waste ambulance time & resources.

Closed on 2 September 2018

Recently an ambulance service rushed to attend to a man claiming to have had a stroke, only to find out he made it up so he could get a free lift.

Unfortunately the service has said it has to deal with ‘day in day out’ and that unfortunately there is no law against wasting ambulance time.
