Given your medical condition you'll go to RBH everytime.

The Ambulance Service has coloured codes that are graded to reflect the seriousness of the call (to give us some clue as to what we're going to) but the information given from the caller is not always the best and sometimes we have RED calls which should be GREEN and vice versa.

If I'm in Burnley and the call is GREEN and stays at that when patient assessed then that patient will go to BGH UCC if call ends up being an AMBER/RED then we (as in Ambulance staff) cannot downgrade it to a green (if it is a green) but have to transport to RBH ED where they'll be assessed and treated.

It is hoped that ALL ambulances will have a paramedic on them 24/7 but sometimes that is not the case.

Helicopter can only work in day-light times and if not to heavy with rain or low cloud and sorry but air control take orders from Helicopter as to where they are going and only have to divert from main take-off/landing flight paths when told to do so but it has been known for flight to be delayed if required for flight over the areas.
