Widow to sue after private ambulance 'missed heart attack' - BBC News
The last section is worrying in the extreme.
Mrs Page's solicitor, Stephanie Prior, believes the general public is largely unaware of the extent to which private ambulance crews are used in emergency situations.
She said: "They wear the same green uniforms as NHS ambulance crews and patients put their trust in them.

"No-one but their direct employer knows how qualified they are or how experienced.
"There is no way to record it if they make a mistake or should be struck off."
