Welsh Ambulance Service service level agreement states that ANY code red call should be on the scene in under 8 minutes at least 90% of the time. In December 2022 that attendance figure was down to 46% (which is terrible) and it's been that bad for a while
There was one code red call that came from Cathedral road in Feb 2023 where the Welsh Ambulance Service actually sent 2 paramedic cars and an Ambulance - ie approx 25% of every vehicle resource we have available was sent out for this one call.
