Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many category 2 ambulance responses in England were over an hour in (1) November 2024, (2) December 2024, and (3) January 2025.

The following table shows the total count of category 2 incidents in England for November 2024, December 2024 and January 2025 and the 90^th centile response time data for category 2 incidents in England:
