Private Ambulance spending

The request was successful.

Dear West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust,

I would like to know what the budgeted amount is for the financial year of April 2019-April2020 for use of private ambulance services.

I would also like a breakdown of the percentage they are used for 999 Services, Urgent care (LAT) services and Patient transport services.

How are these services vetted to ensure that the service, staff and vehicles are up the the same standard you expect to receive from the NHS trust.

Yours faithfully,

Jeremy Andrews

So you are confirming not a penny is spent on contracting any private or voluntary services? Including St John Ambulance for winter 4x4 support / pressures.

Good afternoon Mr Andrews,

No, we are one of many few trusts who currently use all their own staff and vehicles for both their urgent and patient transport services.
