It appears that there shouldn't be a problem

Lord Davies of Oldham: The noble Lord has certainly clarified the matter. I only hope that if vehicles are brought into use in this way they will act with due promptness, as did the Minister’s officials in providing an answer to a rather tricky question. I apologise for not giving notice of it. However, we wanted to clarify that regular support services which are not National Health services—St John’s Ambulance is the obvious one that springs to mind—would without doubt be covered by the legislation as the Minister described it.

As I read it though it would change he role of rescue units either on a rally or from track to hospital transfer? We currently operate under the control of stage commander or CMO not at the request of the NHS locally , this could cause unecessary delays?
