This might be the case Margaret, but I am sure there would be a publicity firestorm if such things were seen to be happening overtly - that, however doesn't stop them from happening covertly.
As to benefits users being the abusers of the ambulance service.......it may be the case that those who over indulge on recreational drugs, and alcohol could be seen as the abusers of the service......and while some benfit claimants may use drugs and alcohol, I feel sure that they are not the ones falling around in the streets of our towns and cities at the weekends.
