Yup, an ambulance service fast response vehicle, staffed by a paramedic.
The vehicle they send so as to get expert medical help to an incident
faster than a full-fat ambulance may be able to get there.


What I don't really understand is why they had to send an ambulance at
all. It was a busy annual city-centre carnival event. Why weren't there
ambulance staff (St Johns if not NHS) on site already?


Basically, the article doesn't make sense and has sneaky hints that it
doesn't back up (particularly the URL).

I'm not so much interested in speculating, but the article is clearly
a dud and not to be trusted.

I know that's true of everything in the papers, but this one seems to
be particularly bad.
