- Information Requested
I am aware the SAS publishes stats showing average turnaround times and 90th percentile turnaround times for crews at different individual hospitals.
However, please can you provide me with details of the longest turnaround times recorded at each hospital in EACH month of this year.
In follow up from FOI/1708/22 it was requested that the data include November 2022.
- Response
Please see attached document showing the longest turnround time (in minutes) from an incident at an A&E Hospital between 01/01/2022 – 30/11/2022. Please note that air ambulance/helicopter transfers have been excluded.
The turnaround time includes the time a SAS crew were waiting to handover a patient to the care of the hospital staff plus any additional time they spend at hospital. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) cleaning and replenishing their vehicle or assisting with the care of other patients awaiting handover.
Please not that data is not available for patient handover times.
