Singapore: Despite the high volume of emergency ambulance calls made in 2014, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded to 83 per cent of cases within 11 minutes, said Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Amrin Amin on Friday (January 29). \r\nThat was an improvement over 2013, when it met that bar in 78 per cent of cases. The figures for 2015 are still being finalised and will be released in February, said Mr Amrin, in response to a question from Member of Parliament for Jurong GRC Tan Wu Meng. |
