Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of emergency service vehicles used by the NHS are (a) electric vehicles and (b) other alternatively fuelled vehicles.
The information requested is not held centrally. However, a small number of electric or alternative fuel vehicles are currently in use across the ambulance fleet. Pilots are taking place to examine the effectiveness of electric or alternative fuel vehicles in major urban centres, with a view to bringing more into operation.
