The way I am reading it is that nobody in the Blackburn area will suffer at all. There will be a more specialised blue light service with highly trained staff to meet these type of emergencies.

Others will still be able to go to the urgent care centre in both Blackburn and Burnley with no interruption of the blue light patients.

The only problem appears to be the travelling time for Burnley blue light cases, 10 minutes could mean life or death, however to compensate, I am led to believe that in these ambulances a highly skilled paramedic has to be on board with the knowledge/facilities to treat whilst in transit. Is this correct Ber ?
