Why did you do this?

The majority ambulance response time stories which we see in the media are about national figures. We wanted to create a map which showed this data on a local level and how this would impact upon you, if the inevitable did happen. Would you need to wait longer for an ambulance at home or at work? How good is the service at your parents’ home? How long would you have to wait if you were on a night out in your local town?

What is ‘A’, ‘Red 1’ and ‘Red 2’?

There are different ways of labelling life-threatening calls. In most cases English ambulance trusts have divided ‘Category A’ - how times used to be measured - into two different categories called ‘Red 1’ and ‘Red 2’. In order to create this map we have picked the most common category in each postcode.
