Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what the vacancy rate for ambulance staff was in the most recent period in 2022 for which such information was available; and what was the comparable figure for the same period in 2018.

This information is not collected in the format requested. However, in June 2022, the vacancy rate for all staff employed in National Health Service ambulance trusts in England was 6.1% and in June 2018, the equivalent vacancy rate was 6.5%.
