I am pleased to be able to inform the House that Her Majesty the Queen has graciously approved a proposal for the issue of a Queen’s Ambulance Service Medal (QAM) to recognise distinguished service by the ambulance service. I am laying before Parliament a Command Paper, Cm 8140, instituting the QAM.

Further information on the criteria for eligibility, along with details on how to nominate individuals for the medal, has been placed in the Library.
