Increasing numbers of paramedics are leaving NHS ambulance services, according to figures obtained by the BBC.
Senior staff say remaining paramedic crews are under greater pressure than ever before to meet demand.
At least 1,015 paramedics left their job in 2013-14, compared with 593 in the same period two years earlier.
The Department of Health says it is spending an extra £28m on the ambulance service in England this year.
