Incident Response Officers

The request was refused by London Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

Dear London Ambulance Service NHS Trust,

Would you be able to tell me;
1. How many IROs operate normally and which stations do they run from?
2. Is there a dispatch policy for them? Would you be able to publish it?
3. What incident management equipment do they carry?

Yours faithfully,

Martin Taylor

Dear Mr Taylor

Your request for information has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act.

I can confirm that the service has 48 Incident Response Officers.

We have considered the remainder of your request and we are withholding this information under Section 31(1)(a) The prevention or detection of crime. This is because the supply of further information could prejudice the security of our operations. We have carried out the public interest test and concluded that the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

Yours sincerely

Janice Abraham
