  As far as I am aware and from DDC Scrutiny meetings, Dover will have two ambulance stations with "Made Ready" Ambulances.
  
  The ambulances are all cleaned up (inside and out), refilled with medicines etc. serviced very regularly and ready for the emergency phone call.
  
  Currently all this cleaning and refilling the ambulances etc. is currently done by the paramedics, well when they've attended an accident or whatever and taken the person to hospital, they go back to the "Made Ready" station and pick up a completely made-ready ambulance and go to their site, ready for the next emergency call.
  
  
  My understanding is that there will be one Ambulance Response Post at the current site off of Folkestone Road and another at Whitfield, so in actual fact, a better service and the Dover area is served better.
  
  The members of the Scrutiny committe went to see the one at Ramsgate (not far from Westwood Cross) and we were all (Labour and Conservatives) very impressed and supportive of this initiative.
  
  Everyone one gave it the thumbs up.
