Very odd. Over here, an the equivalent would be a paramedic resource, that is, a car, bike, motorbike or even an ambo that has a paramedic on - hence, we could provide ~200 paramedic units at any one time rather than 100 (still appallingly low mind) meaning that we double the number of punters who can get paramedic care (not that you need that for itchy teeth).And what ALS kit do you need? A few venflons, drugs, fluids and airways? They're not all that expensive when you consider the cost of the paramedic in the first place.
