Synopsis
In 2006, the Welsh Ambulance Service was damned by its own chief executive as so dangerous it was costing lives. Politicians promised it would be fixed, but has it been?
Week In Week Out investigates the ambulance service described by some as the worst in England and Wales.

Whistleblower
-
Three years ago Roger Thayne walked out as chief of the Welsh ambulance trust. He blew the whistle on an emergency service he said was so incompetent it was killing people. It cost him his career and hundreds of thousands of pounds. When he told Week In Week Out of his concerns, it provoked a national debate on why our 999 service was in such a critical condition.
Three years on we asked him to return to Wales to see if we do now have a 21st century ambulance service as promised. His verdict is damning.
