The fun is going to come with A19 and B19. To explain, everyone knows about the 8 minute response. "Something" has to be on scene to a life threatening call in 8 minutes. Hence the trend towards more RRVs. However the government is now asking for A19 and B19 to be reported. A conveying resource (that's ambulance in English) must be on scene within 19 minutes for all life threatening (Cat-A) and potentially life threatening (Cat-B) calls. So with the increase in hitting the "8" minutes, we'll see a sharp decline in hitting the "19" as we have more crews on RRVs and less on ambulances. The governemnt will ask the trusts why, and the trusts will want more funding for more vehicles to deal with the increase in calls. I have a feeling the government will find it easier to change the targets than provide more money.
