In addition, average ambulance patient handover times have fallen to 32 minutes 42 seconds in April 2024, from 37 minutes 33 seconds in October 2023, when the publication of this data began.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 20/05/2024 16:37:00 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
