Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of using North West Ambulance Service on Patient Opinion. It was very pleasing to hear that your husband received such excellent care from North West Ambulance Service at what must have been an extremely frightening time for you all. It was also good to hear how that excellent care continued at the hospital.
