麻豆约拍 Radio Kent has learned that ambulance crews from as far away as Hampshire are treating patients in Kent. We have been contacted by a listener who told us his elderly father-in-law in Dover had been attended by a crew of three paramedics from a private ambulance contractor based in Portsmouth - who had been staying locally in a hotel.

South East Coast Ambulance service is one of five trusts across the country that uses private ambulances when the core service is under pressure. In a statement SECAMB told us it does not pay hotel bills for private ambulance staff - the arrangements are a matter for the contractor concerned (06:06, 07:07 and 08:07).

Young people in Kent suffering from depression, anxiety, or with eating disorders will get much quicker access to treatment in future, as the organisation that provides services in the county is to be replaced.

Some children and teenagers have been waiting as long as 16 months for help, which includes talking therapies and counselling. Now NHS managers have awarded the contract to a provider in Sussex, which has just a four week wait for treatment (06:25, 07:22 and 08:22).

It was once dubbed by the AA as the most dug up road in the South East - the A264 Pembury Road in Tunbridge Wells. In the past ten years it has been subject to restrictions due to roadworks on no fewer than 40 occasions, today it is happening again.

For the next seven weeks the principal arterial road from the East and the South into Tunbridge Wells will be reduced to a contraflow with inevitable consequences for commuters, residents and businesses alike. The work is being carried out to install permanent traffic lights at the junction of Pembury Road, Blackhurst Lane and Halls Hole Road. It is said the traffic lights will be needed to manage the extra traffic which will be generated by the Skinners Academy redevelopment (06:39, 07:39 and 08:39).
