The #Tories degrading of public services:
#Teachers were to be 'helped' by #teachingassistants, but they increasingly took on more & more jobs fully qualified teachers might have been expected to do normally;
Now we find that in the #Ambulance service, around one third of responses are by first responders, not #paramedics... again something intended to ease pressure has become part fo the normal service.
First responders are being put in a difficult situation by the shortage of paramedics!
