Ambulance Waiting Times (Local Reporting) Bill

Key Points

• Requires ambulance services to publish localised reports on ambulance response times.
• Reports must be accessible and easy to understand for the public.
• Data would cover defined local areas rather than only national figures, improving local accountability.
• The bill would set reporting standards and monitoring for compliance across ambulance services.
• Connected provisions aim to support transparency and informed decision-making in local health services.

Progress

The bill is at the 2nd reading stage in the House of Commons and still needs to pass through further stages before possibly becoming law.
