In the wake of the findings of the 7/7 inquest Simon Cox looks at what has changed within the emergency services.
Could any of the 52 people who died on July 7th 2005 have been saved if help had reached them sooner? Earlier this month the findings of inquest concluded that they could not. But the coroner Lady Justice Hallet didn't give the emergency services a clean bill of health. She made 9 recommendations for improvement and has asked for responses by the end of June.
This week's "The Report" looks at the reasons why some victims waited over an hour for fire and ambulance workers to reach them. And we talk to some of those involved in the incidents including Jason Killens from the London Ambulance Service and Michael Henning, a survivor of a bomb detonated at Aldgate Tube station, both of whom gave evidence at the inquest.
