HC Deb 15 April 1994 vol 241 c319W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the latest figures for the London ambulance service's record in reaching patients charter targets for response times.

Mr. Sackville

The latest published figures are for January 1994 and are as follows:

Per cent.
14-minute response standard 65
8-minute response time 12
3-minute activation time 34

This performance falls short of the patients charter targets. That is why in this financial year the Government and the London regions will invest an extra £14.8 million in the London ambulance service, tied to specific improvements in performance.
