We've been hearing from ambulance crews that the vehicles could be spreading dangerous infections. One paramedic from the North West of England, who does not want to be named, explained how time pressures make it hard for him to do his job.

“We’re doing a basic wipe over of the ambulance; we’re just wiping the sides, wiping the stretcher, and just doing our best with what we’ve got,” he said.

“We could start the cleaning and we start taking stuff off and we get a call and we’ve got to put it all back again and off we go.”
