(BBC) The decision not to send more specialist paramedics into the Manchester Arena bomb scene has been defended by an ambulance service boss.
The public inquiry has heard only three paramedics treated casualties in the City Room where the bomb was detonated.
But Gerard Blezard, from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), told the inquiry sending more paramedics there would have been a “better option.”
He said a mass casualty vehicle to aid treatment should have been deployed.
Twenty-two people died and hundreds more were injured when bomber Salman Abedi detonated a device in the arena’s foyer at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
