Abstract:
From April 1991, district health authorities (HAs) have been negotiating specific contracts with ambulance services for the provision of emergency ambulance services. It is important that performance standards for monitoring these services are developed and that performances standards are clinically meaningful. Andrew Rouse describes the contract drawn up in Cornwall.
