PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(17 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) Community First Responders and (b) Emergency Medical Technician use blue light vehicles.

Asked by:
Connor Naismith (Labour)

Answer

This data is not held centrally by the Department. Community First Responders (CFRs) are community volunteers who respond to incidents, supporting ambulance services. CFRs are not trained to drive under blue light emergency conditions, and must follow all road traffic laws.

Emergency Medical Technicians are trained to drive under blue light conditions, and may be deployed to incidents in a single crewed vehicle or a twin crewed vehicle with an accompanying paramedic.
