I'm not entirely clear on the point you're trying to make here, by that data Insite has prevented deaths of users (some people see that as good, others bad) and also handled 2,151 OD's which reduces the load on the ambulance service and hospitals since they'd be the ones handling all those incidents otherwise. Regardless of what side of the fence you're on that reduction is a good thing.
