NHS England and NHS Improvement do not collect data on the number of patients who have had more than one ambulance in attendance before being taken to hospital, or how many patients have requested an ambulance on more than one occasion before receiving a response.

Numbers of 999 calls and incidents are published at England and ambulance trust level. These Ambulance Quality Indicators are published monthly by NHS England and can be found at the following link:
