Communication in emergency health services

: When the new national radio and telecommunications system for acute medical services is established in 1995, 25 years will have passed since publication of the first White Paper on the issue. By following the process of this reform as it has evolved it is possible to point out how various government bodies and professional groups have stimulated or hindered the process to suit their individual motives and needs. In addition to active involvement by enthusiastic professionals and government agencies, the approval and implementation of such a reform requires the support of other institutions, other professional groups, the media and politicians.
