Times times times!

I have just noticed that the firm (London Ambulance Service ) Known as LAS for short has a new category included on its performance figures called "revised clock start cat A". Let me try to explain a bit more about this performance beast. The ambulance services performance is mainly measured on the time that it takes to get to the call. The goal is to get to 75 % of CAT A calls within 8 mins. If we achieve this then we get the funding from the Health authorities. If we don't then there is trouble on the Horizon for the firm. It is presently running at 77 %, which is cool. But the goal posts are moving again. The clock starts ticking when the address of the patient is received, but soon it will start when the call is transferred to the LAS control from British telecom. So that's what I think the revised clock time is all about. The performance percentage would be around 55% when the new system comes into play. Oops. That means that we are in trouble again.

And over 25 feet is the world record for a sunflower. I am half way there with ours.
