Health Secretary visits LAS headquarters to meet staff and volunteers and thank them for their hard work

Yesterday, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, visited the Service’s headquarters in Waterloo to meet staff and volunteers to thank them for their hard work over the last year. Mr Hancock heard first-hand their experiences of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and paid tribute to our teams for their efforts across some of the toughest periods of our history.  The Secretary of State was welcomed by our Trust Board Chair Heather Lawrence OBE and shown our new Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) call handling area by Chief Executive Garrett Emmerson.
