A Blyth paramedic has spoken out about how the need for ambulance service staff to attend more and more cases involving vulnerable adults highlights how the health and social care system in the UK is "overflowing".
Andrew Raisbeck featured on the fifth episode of the BBC's Ambulance documentary, which is this year focussing on the North East Ambulance Service. The episode highlights how he and his colleagues are often called to attend frightening cases where older and more vulnerable people are becoming incapacitated.
In the show, he and colleague Danielle are called to the home of retired furniture restorer John, who was once presented to the Queen. John has lost a degree of mobility and was reliant on his neighbours for care.
