Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many hours and minutes a week on average there are no ambulances available to respond to 999 calls in Shropshire.
Data on the average hours and minutes a week ambulances are unavailable to respond to 999 calls in Shropshire is not collected centrally.
No assessment of the potential merits of a county ambulance service for Shropshire or changes in ambulance response times has been made. Current ambulance response time standards were introduced in 2017 following the recommendations of the Ambulance Response Programme.
