PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (18 November 2014)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent steps he has taken to improve the performance of the North East Ambulance Service.

Asked by:
Sir Alan Campbell (Labour)

Answer

The North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is performing well against national standards. Latest data for September 2014 shows the Foundation Trust to be meeting all three national standards:

Red1 A - 76.2% (standard 75%)

Red2 A - 75.4% (standard 75%)

A19 - 95.0% (standard 95%)

The Foundation Trust also met the three targets in 2013-14 as a whole.

As part of overall operational resilience planning for winter, we have provided an additional £50 million to be divided between all ambulance trusts to support them in managing extra demand.
