The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is the organisation responsible for providing ambulance services for the National Health Service (NHS) across South West England (the counties and unitary authorities of Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, North Somerset, the Isles of Scilly, Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What we do )〕 The Foundation Trust was authorised on 1 March 2011 by Monitor (the Independent Regulator for NHS Foundation Trusts) to run the ambulance services run previously by the NHS Trust as a result of the merger of the Westcountry and Dorset ambulance services, and the subsequent merger with neighbouring Great Western Ambulance Service on 1 February 2013. This latter merger was announced in 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-15308309 )〕 and staff were asked to accept changes in their pay and conditions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-15558753 )〕 It is one of ten Ambulance Trusts providing England with emergency medical services, receiving government funding for its role. There is no charge to patients for use of the service, although costs will be recovered and paid to the ambulance trust in cases of personal injury through the NHS Injury Cost Recovery scheme. ==Divisions & Stations== The trust is split into three divisions: West Division covering Devon and Cornwall including West Divisional HQ, 999 and Patient Transport Service (PTS) Control at Exeter, East Division covering Somerset and Dorset including East Divisional HQ, 999 and PTS Control at Ringwood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wcas.nhs.uk/contactus/keyservices.htm )〕 and North Division consisting of the foot print of the former Great Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
