(BBC) An ambulance commander has defended his decision to not send more paramedics straight into the scene of the Manchester Arena attack.
Consultant paramedic Dan Smith told an inquiry into the 2017 bombing that policy meant the risk was too high to deploy unprotected colleagues.
The inquiry has heard how only three paramedics treated casualties in the City Room, where the bomb exploded.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured in the blast.
Mr Smith was off duty and at home when the bomb exploded at the end of an Ariana Grande concert.
