To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the average response time for each of the ambulance services in England in (1) April, (2) July, and (3) October, for (a) emergency, and (b) routine, calls.

The information is not collected in the format requested. Ambulance response times are measured across four categories as follows:
- Category 1 - life threatening;
- Category 2 - emergency;
- Category 3 - urgent; and
- Category 4 - non-urgent.
Data on the mean response times in hours, minutes and seconds for Category 1 to 4 calls for each ambulance service in England in April, July and October 2021, is attached due to the size of the data.
