- Response
Please see the attached sheet where the first tab details the total number of emergency incidents attended and how many were conveyed from 01/03/2026 - 31/05/2026 broken down by month. Also, on the same tab, the second table details the number of attended incidents where the request originated from Police Scotland, along with the subsequent conveyances for those incidents; broken down by calendar month.
The second tab details the response time for the Police Scotland incidents, broken down by calendar month and acuity.
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.
