Number of ambulance services in an area per 1,000 population (10301) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of ambulance services located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services respond to emergency 999 calls, providing medical care in emergency and non-emergency settings outside of hospital. This includes the provision of emergency response and transport services for people with serious or life-threatening conditions.
Ambulance services also provide a range of other urgent and planned healthcare and patient transport services. They may provide care, treatment and support and employ a range of healthcare professionals to meet the needs of the people who use the service.
Examples of services that fit under this category:- Advice, treatment and/or transport of people in emergency situations or with urgent health needs
- Air ambulance service
- Patient transport services.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
