Private firm gets NHS ambulance deal [Published BBC - May 16 2013]

"The provision of crisis workers to support victims through the forensic examination 24/7 is one of the vital elements that was previously missing from Kent SAS and I am delighted that finally the funding has been made available to provide a full rota of crisis workers. The increased number of independent sexual violence advisors will mean that follow on support can be provided to children as well as adults and this extra help will enable more adult and child victims to feel sufficiently supported to take their cases to court. Family Matters supported over 230 rape victims during 2012/13 of which a quarter were aged 12-16."
