London Ambulance Service (Hansard, 15 April 1994)

HC Deb 15 April 1994 vol 241 c319W 319W

§ 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.
