Summary of request
You requested:
I am interested in finding out the statistics concerning the physical threat and abuse to paramedics / emergency officers and ambulance officers, who have faced when answering 911 emergency calls.
I am looking to write a report based on facts and statistics in relation to this. To create an awareness to the public.
I read an article relating to abuse on Ambulance workers and the numbers had risen to 20,000 incidents reported.
Of these 20000 reported cases. Are these including paramedics and emergency services officers?
Also what preventative steps are being taken and is the team provided with correct PPE.
