We are advised that the health sector regulator Monitor is taking action with South East Coast Ambulance Service Foundation Trust regarding concerns about a project which was run between December 2014 and February 2015 in the south of England. The regulator is working with the Trust now to identify the negative impact this project could have had on patients.
