The Public Hospitals Authority (PHA) finds it despicable that an ambulance under the management of the Authority was used in the execution of a prom event in Marsh Harbour, Abaco at the weekend.

The use of the ambulance is in direct contravention of the rules regarding the dispatching and use of emergency vehicles which should only be dispatched solely for the purpose of medical transport.

All EMT’s and Ambulance drivers are well aware of the rules that govern the engagement of emergency vehicles. The Public Hospitals Authority has undertaken disciplinary action regarding the incident, and further action may result following the conclusion of an investigation.
