Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has made an estimate of how many ambulances are equipped with navigation systems that show live traffic information.

The specific information requested by the Hon. Member regarding live traffic updates is not centrally held. All ambulance vehicles have satellite navigation systems that assist crews to identify the location of each emergency. These are updated regularly to ensure the information within them remains current, and to reflect feedback from operational crews and managers who are trained on these systems and understand best the areas they serve.
