It now seems that the rapid response vehicle might also cover the Balfron area so the area will be even larger than we first thought.As there was such concern about the situation, it was agreed that there would be a phasing-in period when the enhanced service would begin and the local GPs would stop operating their out-of-hours service. The deadline for that is 31 March. We have argued strongly that until a service can be agreed on and shown to work with an enhanced ambulance service and a rapid response unit, that 31 March deadline should not operate.
