Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what comparative assessment his Department has made of the number of ambulance callouts in 2021 with each of the last five years.
The following table compares the number of ambulance callouts in 2021 (face-to-face responses by the ambulance service) in England with previous years.
The number of callouts between January and September is provided for each year (to reflect the most recent data available in 2021). Please note that ambulance trust data definitions were changed in 2017, and current data is not directly comparable.
Year (Jan - Sep) | Number of face-to-face responses | Percentage difference |
