- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the average amount of time between an ambulance arriving at York hospital and that ambulance crew handing over a patient to the hospital staff.
- Answer
-
No assessment of the impact of ambulance waiting times in York has been made. The average time between first contacting an ambulance and an ambulance arriving for people in York who have experienced a myocardial infarction or a stroke is not collected centrally. Strokes and myocardial infarctions are typically triaged as Category 2 ‘Emergency’ calls. The average ambulance response time for Category 2 calls in Yorkshire for May 2022 was 32 minutes and 42 seconds.
No estimate of the average time between an ambulance arriving at York Hospital and the crew handing over a patient to the hospital staff has been made. This information is not centrally collected. No recent national assessment of providing more emergency treatments to patients prior to arrival in accident and emergency has been made.
