The performance standard for ambulance trusts responding to Category A calls is that an ambulance resource should arrive within eight minutes of the call 75% of the time.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We understand that this year to date (1 April 2014 -28 November 2014) the London Ambulance Service has achieved a response rate to \u2018category A\u2019 calls in Westminster of 69.58%.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We are providing extra support to the National Health Service \u2013 including £50 million to help ambulance trusts with additional demand and help them to return to meeting the standard as quickly as possible.<\/p>
