- Information Requested
I am looking for information on the average length of time of transfer of a patient from crews leaving scene to arriving at hospital for the last 2 years. I am also looking for information on the amount of time ambulances spend waiting at hospital between arriving at hospital and clearing for the last 5 years. Any information you can provide regarding this request would be gratefully appreciated.

Please see the table below showing the National average turnaround time for Hospitals with an Accident and Emergency department.
Please note caution on the interpretation of this data. We do not hold the information to provide the breakdown in data specific to the destination within a hospital. The turnaround times shown are the total length of time spent at a hospital (non-specific to final destination), including, the time the ambulance arrives and recorded until the ambulance has marked itself “clear” and available for use. Please note that this is time taken based on numerous variables for example, the length of time taken to hand over a patient, waiting for the return of equipment, cleaning requirements of the ambulance, etc.
