(c) St John Ambulance is required to use a contracted model as the basis for allocating career paramedics in all Country Sub Centres. This model aligns the number of cases in the previous year at a Country Sub Centre to the optimum allocation of career paramedics, and allows consideration to be given to the specific characteristics of the location in making a final determination. The contract does not state a minimum number of career paramedics required to be located in the South West region.
