Agreement in Medical Transport: Calm, but No Lasting Solution

Answer

What could help improve medical transport in rural Mallorca and the Tramuntana?

Rural areas often face longer travel times and fewer available crews, so small staffing gaps can have a bigger impact there than in Palma. Extra pay for night shifts or mountain routes, along with clearer staffing plans, could help keep services covered in places like the Tramuntana. Better local training could also encourage more staff to stay on the island.
