There have been no discussions between my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State and the Chief Executive of the London Ambulance Service (LAS) regarding the Command Point system.

LAS suffered a failure of their Command Point system in the early hours of 1 January 2017. An external review of the incident is currently underway.
