Petition Emergency control staff to receive the Diamond Jubilee Medal

More details

The DoH has ruled that emergency control staff within our emergency services are not eligible to receive the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal this year because they don't have "direct patient contact."
Emergency control staff are annoyed by this decision as many lives have been saved by the very people who answer the 999 calls and dispatch the emergency vehicles to the incidents.
It also appears that the DoH do not care about the staff who have to deal with threats, abuse and heartache everyday.
We want the DoH to change the rules, so that ALL members of the emergency services are recognised for their hard work and determination to have an impact on the lives of those in need of our help.
