Hi, I retired through ill health in '93, after only 10 years 'in the job'. I may now be considered a 'silver surfer' but I retain enough memory to remember trying to clean an ambulance, for my 12 hr day shift, after a night shift duty crew had crawled off for sleep (12 hrs isn't a long time when it takes up to an hour to get home!) - mate not yet in, control screaming they were holding calls, not enough cleaning tools - you were left with a cold water source and a bucket on many occasions.

 

The idea of using cleaning crews sounds good but this needs to be made 'law' for all. A bucket of water, a mop and some smellies is not the answer - but, in my opinion, its all most will get!
