Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the research by the Health Services Journal, published on 5 March, which showed that 10 per cent of Category 2 calls for ambulance service in Lincolnshire East between April and September 2019 were not responded to until nearly 90 minutes had passed.

No assessment has been made. All English ambulance services have adopted the Ambulance Response Programme model, and report data at trust level against the Ambulance Quality Indicators. There is no central data collection at clinical commissioning group level and no further assessment will be made, as it is a matter for local commissioners.
