'An hour's training to drive an ambulance'
Some staff at a private ambulance firm say they have driven under blue lights after only having had an hour's training, the Victoria Derbyshire programme has learned.
The Private Ambulance Service in Basildon, Essex, transports patients and carries out emergency cover for the East of England Ambulance Service, but denies the allegations made against it by some former staff members.
The Private Ambulance Service told us they do not accept the nature of the allegations that have been made.
