Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many ambulances called in the London Borough of Havering have responded outside the (a) Category A and (b) Category C response time target in each of the last seven years.

The information requested is not centrally collected.

Ambulance response times are published monthly by NHS England at ambulance trust level. Data can be found online at the following link:

In July 2017, the Government agreed NHS England’s recommendations to implement an improved ambulance performance framework. As the national response time standards have changed, data from previous years are no longer comparable.
