Ambulance trusts’ South West merger plan moves closer
Plans to create a single ambulance service for south-west England have been sent to the health secretary for approval.
Great Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust (GWAS) wants to merge with South Western Ambulance Service (SWAS) to create a single foundation trust.
The new trust will cover an area from Gloucestershire down to Cornwall.
GWAS said the merger would see some job cuts, however frontline services would not be affected.
A spokesman could not say how many staff would be affected.
