Mr Bone has regular meetings with the Ambulance Trust to update them on feedback from his constituents and to receive updates on the service that East Midlands Ambulance Trust provides.

Mr Bone says: ‘I will be meeting with the Regional Manager for the Northamptonshire area to get an update on the service that East Midlands Ambulance is providing to my constituents.

‘I have received several representations from constituents about the delays in ambulances arriving on scene and I will be putting their concerns to the Ambulance Trust.

‘A number of constituents have contacted me where they have had to wait over one hour for an ambulance to attend. Complaints to me about the ambulance service have increased significantly since East Midlands Ambulance Trust replaced the Two Shires Ambulance service.’
