How about if the ambulance staff were either to give an information leaflet
to someone accompanying the patient in the ambulance (which they could
explain was about the data being collected and should be read by the
patient at a later date) or where no-one travels with the patient (and
their condition makes it impossible for them to be given the information
there and then) the relevant leaflet could be passed on to those
registering the patient and held to be given to them at a more appropriate
time.
