Police and ambulance service team up to save lives and money

A NEW partnership between Gwent Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service is aiming to save both lives and money.

The two organisations launched the Joint Response Unit last month in July after research showed 2,249 incidents between October 2015 and March 2016 were attended by both police and paramedics.
