<p>An ambulance technician who did not attend an emergency call to a dying heart attack patient because he was on his tea break will keep his job, it has been announced.</p>
<p>Mandy Mathieson, 33, died after she had a cardiac arrest in Tomintoul, Moray, on October 16.</p>
<p>The local on-duty technician did not respond to the call and paramedics from Grantown-on-Spey, around 15 miles away, were dispatched instead.</p>
<p>An air ambulance helicopter was also dispatched and reached the village almost half an hour after the initial call but Ms Mathieson was declared dead at the scene.</p>
<p>The ambulance technician was suspended and an investigation launched.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: &#8220;The Scottish Ambulance Service has completed its investigation into the incident in Tomintoul on October 16.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ambulance technician involved will undertake further training and pass an evaluation before being allowed to return to operational duties.</p>
<p>&#8220;The chairman and chief executive will meet with the community in Tomintoul on January 28.&#8221;</p>
<p>The case had been raised at the Scottish Parliament and First Minister Alex Salmond said it would be &#8220;thoroughly investigated&#8221;.</p>
<p>Labour&#8217;s Highlands and Islands MSP Rhoda Grant raised the issue at First Minister&#8217;s Questions.</p>
