I agree.
Drunks waste a huge amount of precious Ambulance time, as well as often being unpleasant to the ambulance staff...and that's before they arrive at hospital where they often continue to abuse hospital staff and/or members of the public waiting in A&E. Most unpleasant if you are on the receiving end.

And while I'm on me soapbox....
Drunks and their rowdy behaviour waste valuable Police time (when the Police could be better employed dealing with criminals) .
You've only got to watch some of the programmes on TV to see what Police, Ambulance, Hospitals and Fire Brigade have to put up with from drunks. Those services are for people in genuine need, not self inflicted drunken louts behaviour.

So, in a nutshell Sue, yes, they should be fined. :-|

Some time ago i posted a thread stating that I believe drunks should be charged for using the ambulance service, after all we almost lost youngest because there were none available.

I had to call 999 to be taken to majors this week (having previously been in minors). A paramedic in a car arrived first and called for ambulance transport, it took 25 minutes to get to me.

The paramedic said he wanted drunks to be charged £60 each time they used the ambulance service so it's not just me! Too much money is spent (wasted) on scraping drunks off the pavement and the consequence is we are losing emergency vehicles.

Moan over!
