| Synopsis: |
Search and Rescue (SAR) services deal with the location and recovery of people in distress, in potential distress or missing, and their delivery to a place of safety. Following on from the Committee's previous report into the work of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) (HCP 500, session 2003-04; ISBN 0215018478) published in July 2004, this report examines the UK's SAR service arrangements in detail, including its effectiveness, resources and capabilities. Findings include that the arrangements have improved and are generally effective, although these involve the co-ordination of at least six government departments, one government agency, the devolved administrations, the statutory emergency services and numerous voluntary organisations. More systematic ways need to be found of forecasting demand to ensure resource allocation is adequate. The SAR service relies heavily on volunteers and voluntary organisations, and unless the Government provides more support now, it is likely that more paid staff will be required in the future.The Committee also raises concerns over the poor relations between the MCA and the Public and Commercial Services Union, the union which represents coastguard staff. |
