Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the ambulance response times in the Cotswolds were for (a) Red One, (b) Red Two, (c) Green One and (d) Green Two cases in the latest month for which figures are available; and what the figures were in each such category in the last month for which figures are available prior to the merger with the South West Ambulance Trust.
We are advised by NHS England that the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group has not altered its contract with South West Ambulance Services NHS Foundation Trust to reduce average ambulance response times.
The information requested is shown in the following tables:
