The information is not collected in the format requested. Ambulance response times are measured across four categories as follows:

- Category 1 - life threatening;

- Category 2 - emergency;

- Category 3 - urgent; and

- Category 4 - non-urgent.

Data on the mean response times in hours, minutes and seconds for Category 1 to 4 calls for each ambulance service in England in April, July and October 2021, is attached due to the size of the data.
