Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans he has to increase clinical resources for the East of England Ambulance Trust.

It is the responsibility of individual ambulance trusts and their commissioners to decide how clinical resources are used to meet local demand.

NHS Improvement advises that East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust is currently working with management consultants Operational Research in Health to remodel its future workforce requirements based on a new operating model and its demand profile. The Trust will discuss any additional funding this will require with its commissioners.
