</em><em>Ambulance service response times were split in June 2012 in to the most time
critical (Red 1) and serious but less time critical (Red 2). </em></p><p><em>2. </em><em>Category
A Red 1 calls are the most time critical and cover cardiac arrest patients who are
not breathing and do not have a pulse, and other severe conditions.</em></p><p><em>3.
</em><em>Category Red 2 calls are serious but less immediately time critical and cover
conditions such as stroke and fits, and a new clock start will allow call handlers
to get more information about patients.</em></p><p><em>4. </em><em>Category A19 is
the total number of Category A calls (Red 1 and Red 2) which resulted in a fully equipped
ambulance vehicle (car or ambulance) able to transport the patient in a clinically
safe manner arriving at the scene within 19 minutes of the request being made.</em></p><p>
</p><p>The Government is aware of the increasing demand on urgent and emergency care
services. The Urgent and Emergency Care Review is currently considering whole system
change to the delivery of urgent and emergency care, including new models of delivery
of care for ambulance services. The first phase of the review was published last November,
and we expect NHS England to be publishing further reports later this year.</p>
