Police Grant

Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant.

The only service my hon. Friend did not mention in terms of the extra pressure being put on the police frontline is the ambulance service. I think that is the single greatest source of pressure on frontline policing and is actually putting police officers in very difficult situations that are beyond their training and competence. Does there not need to be an urgent review of the performance of the ambulance service, particularly of the pressure it is now placing on police officers on the frontline?
