Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of ambulance waiting times in England.
Performance data for January 2022 shows an improvement in response times in England against all ambulance waiting time categories. NHS England and NHS Improvement are providing an extra £55 million to ambulance trusts to increase staff numbers this winter, providing over 700 additional staff in control rooms and on the frontline to reduce response times.
