Health and safety guidelines................An 82-year-old Bradford woman was forced to shuffle up a set of steps on her bottom after paramedics refused to help because of health and safety regulations. The paramedics used a trolley to get Mrs Summers out of the ambulance but when they reached the steps up to the front door they told her she would have to get off and go it alone. It was only when Mrs Summers reached her sofa that they helped her into a sitting position, saying health and safety guidelines prevented them from lifting people - despite the fact Mrs Summers is 5ft and weighs just nine stone. Mrs Summers has a heart condition and the ‘paramedics’ expressed surprise that she managed to make it at all. What sort of ambulance staff are they employing in Bradford these days or is Health and Safety more important than common sense and humanity now? |
