Virendra Sharma – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Virendra Sharma on 2016-07-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of ambulance call-outs were for minor ailments in each (a) former strategic health authority area and (b) clinical commissioning group in each year since 2006.

The information requested is not collected centrally.

Lower acuity calls, such as minor ailments, are called “green calls”. Response times for these are set locally by commissioners and providers.
