title: Ambulance services. Get your kit off.
abstract: An ambulance trust with a deficit of 1 m Pounds in 2000 and poor response times has balanced its books and exceeded response-time targets. A hierarchical, military culture has been changed into a more participative one. Union representatives now sit on the interviewing board for management jobs. These changes have allowed the trust to become more integrated with the NHS as a whole.
