§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure that when recording the periods of activation time for emergency ambulances those times are related to the ambulance which arrives at the relevant scene of the emergency. [32495]
§ Mr. RichardsThe activation time for emergency ambulances is the difference between the time that an emergency call is received and the time that the nearest available ambulance is dispatched. This gives an accurate indication of the time taken within the ambulance trust to react to a call.
