answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>I have been engaging with NHS Improvement, NHS England and the ambulance service to support improved ambulance performance.</p><p> </p><p>To help meet pressures this winter and beyond, on 6 July we announced £36.3 million of investment in the ambulance service that will be used to purchase 256 state-of-the art ambulances at five ambulance trusts, and to develop vehicle preparation hubs in the East of England and Yorkshire, which will see specialist staff quickly restock, refuel and clean ambulances, getting them back on the road faster.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, following a rigorous independent evaluation, we have introduced an improved national performance framework for ambulances. These changes prioritise responses to the sickest patients, while helping to reduce long waits for ambulance responses; ensure patients receive the response they need, first time; and improve the efficiency and resilience of the ambulance service in the face of rising demand.</p><p> </p><p>Challenged ambulance trusts, including the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST), are receiving tailored support to meet the new national response time standards. This includes comprehensive cross-system reviews led by regional directors, and the implementation of performance improvement plans. Further actions to deliver improvement at EEAST include additional funding for 330 new staff and 160 new ambulances, alongside the implementation of recommendations from the recently published governance review of the Trust. This will ensure the Trust has appropriate capacity and governance processes in place to meet demand and deliver high quality ambulance responses to patients.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 24/07/2018 16:24:37 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government recently announced funding for 256 new ambulances across five ambulance trusts.</p><p> </p><p>The procurement will ensure that a fair and transparent process is undertaken which takes into account value for money and other social considerations as permitted by the Public Contract Regulations 2015.</p><p> </p><p>The procurement of new ambulances is constituted of two elements- the purchase of the base vehicle and conversion into the ambulance, according to the required specification.</p><p> </p><p>Purchase of the base vehicles is currently undertaken by individual ambulance trusts, using Crown Commercial Services framework contracts. Through this process, the ambulance trusts receiving funding are planning to purchase either Fiat or Mercedes base vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>The conversion- which typically constitutes a much larger cost than purchase of the base vehicle- is contracted by individual trusts. Currently trusts use six converters and four of the six are United Kingdom registered companies, based upon the contracting arrangements put in place by ambulance trusts locally.</p><p> </p><p>Lord Carter of Coles is currently undertaking an independent review of the operational productivity of ambulances services, including the effectiveness of fleet and variations in ambulance specification and procurement. This review is due to conclude and make recommendations shortly. Any of the 256 ambulances which are not planned to be operational by winter will be procured under arrangements which reflects any changes made in response to Lord Carter’s recommendations, which will require one specification of ambulance to be used by all ten ambulance trusts.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 17/07/2018 11:27:44 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2018 answer text <p>This information is not available in the format requested. Data about ambulance response time performance in England is published monthly by NHS England and can be found online at the following address:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ambulance-quality-indicators/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ambulance-quality-indicators/</a></p><p>In July 2017 the Department agreed NHS England’s recommendations to implement an improved ambulance performance framework. These changes improve responses to patients and the efficiency and resiliency of the ambulance service in the face of rising demand. All mainland National Health Service ambulance trusts are now operating against this new framework, and the ambulance service on the Isle of Wight will do so from April 2018. Due to these changes to the waiting time performance standards, data from previous years are no longer comparable.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 03/04/2018 09:50:30 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
