Paramedics in Wales fear they cannot do their job safely due to being forced to work with military personnel on ambulances, union warns
Since 14 October 110 personnel from the Army, Navy and RAF have been working with the Welsh Ambulance Service, and are due to continue doing so until the end of November.
The union says ambulance staff "are having to not only assess and treat the patient and their family, but keep an eye open for the military personnel working with them, giving them instructions on what is needed to be done rather than being able to rely on a trained medic".
