Call Outs

 

Although Great Western Ambulance Service provides a 24 hours cover to Swindon

and surrounding areas, it is preferred that Community Responders do not

respond between the hours of 2330 and 0600, so the below charts reflect the total

number of hours in the month, the total number of hours we are permitted to cover

and the total number of hours we have actually covered.

Total Callouts, so far this year 19                      
Total hours covered, so far this year 4234.19                      

You can see from the above statistics that in some months we are covering more hours than is actually permitted,

this is due to some of our responders being on call throughout the night as they work night shifts for the main job.
