Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the reasons for delays to category 1 and 2 ambulance responses in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
This question was answered on 11th January 2023
A range of factors drive longer ambulance response times, including in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. A key issue is hospital occupancy pressures leading to ambulance handover delays. The Government has announced funding for the National Health Service with £250 million to support patient discharge and patient flow.
