It is absolutely vital that public trust is maintained in the services that we all rely on and cherish, and that standards not only improve, but are then upheld.

That’s why I continue to join my fellow parliamentary colleagues in closely monitoring the progress of the East of England Ambulance Service Trust – even more so after the Trust was placed in special measures last year, and in light of the recent announcement that Ofsted recently removed the Trust as a registered provider for apprentices.

On Wednesday, I participated in a call with senior Trust leadership and fellow MPs to find out more about the situation, raise concerns and hold the Trust to account.

Rest assured, I will continue to do all I can to work with partners and ensure standards improve, and quickly.
