Part of health service dodgy solicitors go after (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambulance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of health service' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'dodgy solicitors go after' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'go' could be 'lance' (lancing is a kind of going) and 'lance' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ambulance that I've seen before include "It will bring you to hospital" , "what's used by 9a 19d" , "Transport for the sick" , "one seen by accident" , "Vehicle for transporting the sick" .)
