Please see the attached sheet detailing the emergency attended incidents data requested, covering the period from 1 January 2020 to 28 October 2025. This data includes emergency calls only and is limited to attended incidents.
Table 1: Postcode District. This table presents emergency attended incidents broken down by:
- Response time groupings
- Calendar year
- Call colour
- Postcode district
Table 2: Postcode Sector. This table provides a more granular view, showing emergency attended incidents by:
- Response time groupings
- Calendar year
- Call colour
- Postcode sector
Please note: the response times show total time and do not factor in possible upgrading or downgrading that may occur depending on the patient condition. For example, a call may start out as a yellow call, subsequently be upgraded to a purple call some time later, but only the total time from the first call received is shown. The starting point is always set for the colour category first determined, not the final colour category assigned. Where delays occur, clinical advisors maintain contact with the patient, checking their condition on an ongoing basis, and upgrading when appropriate.
For the given data, you will see that some of the figures are shown as, five or less than five, please note that this figure has been suppressed because the statistical value is less than five. The Scottish Ambulance service has a duty, under the Data Protection Act to avoid directly or indirectly revealing any personal details. It is therefore widely understood that provision of statistics on small numbers, five or less are statistically suppressed upon disclosure.
