Would like to know more (as v.nosy person!). > > Francesca Yes certainly there is a Hazoloh in every city which has a sizeable Jewish population, London, Manchester, Gateshead etc. My son in law Allan (Tammy's DH) is a hard working member of it, as is my friend lind(the one with the daughter with cancer)'s DH, the guy who designed our extension drives the Hatzoloh ambulance, etc etc. It's very local, very immediate. All are very highly trained in first aid, ressucitation and other emergency procedures, their ambulances have access to the hospital ambulance bay at the Royal Free. All Hatzoloh members have a special mobile phone which has to be on 24/7, even on Sabbath and holidays, as the saving of life supercedes everything. One of Allan's friends is the controller and sends the calls he receives out to the closest member to the accident, which probably explains the speed of the response.
