Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent steps his Department has taken to improve ambulance response times.
NHS England’s Urgent and Emergency Care Review is working to reform and improve the provision of urgent and emergency care in England. As part of the review, NHS England is considering how to improve responses to 999 calls and patient outcomes under the Ambulance Response Programme. We expect the programme will report its findings in autumn 2016.
