Government data on ambulance operations management releasedNew figures examining operations management in the ambulance service have been published by the government.

The quality data from the Department of Health, ordered by health secretary Andrew Lansley, provide information about the performance of trusts in this area, including the fact that more than one-third (33.4 per cent) of all calls were resolved successfully without requiring patients to be transported to accident and emergency (A&E) departments.

Based on the standard of treatment received by patients and the outcomes of it, the report covers a wider remit than simply response times, although this remains a major factor and targets continue to be in place for the most seriously ill patients.

"The data published for the first time today show that there is variation in the results for patients across the country," Mr Lansley noted, adding this information can be used for continuous improvement of the service.

It comes after a series of quality indicators were released for A&E department based on eight clinical measures created by senior clinicians.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800719219-ADNFCR
