- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to improve ambulance response times in (a) Surrey and (b) Hampshire.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises that ambulance response times, including in Surrey and Hampshire, are not meeting the high standards patients should expect.
We are determined to turn things around, and our Urgent and Emergency Care Plan for 2025/26, backed by almost £450 million of capital investment, commits to reducing ambulance response times for Category 2 incidents to 30 minutes on average this year.
Our 10-Year Health Plan sets out how we will reform the National Health Service, including urgent and emergency care services, with a key focus on shifting urgent care into the community through new Neighbourhood Health Services.
