HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c665W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the diversion policies operated by ambulance services. [88162]

Mr. Lammy

National health service ambulance services will decide to which accident and emergency department they will take a patient depending on the local circumstances prevailing at the time. They will use local information to make that decision.
