HC Deb 23 July 1996 vol 282 c270W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of ambulance response times in Wales. [38832]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

In 1995–96, 95 per cent. of emergency ambulances across Wales arrived within target times specified in the patients charter. This is seen as a marked improvement given that the number of emergency patients carried in the period increased by 6 per cent. on the previous year.
