Description:
The ambulance services statistics show monthly data for Wales on the number of calls and the time taken to respond to an incident. Information is available by Local Health Board (LHB) and for Wales. The latest and past versions of the release are available on the ambulance services page. Since April 2014, Local Health Boards have been responsible for providing emergency ambulance services (999 calls) for their local residents; the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust (WAST) is commissioned to deliver emergency ambulance services on their behalf.
There are two categories of ambulance service:
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) - the Emergency Medical Service deals with emergency and
urgent cases, and is accessed by dialling 999; and
Patient Care Services (PCS) – provides transport for patients to a variety of planned hospital
appointments and outpatient clinics.

Following approval through safeguard processes, access to project-specific data
within the secure environment is permitted using two-factor authentication.
Access Request Cost:
Data provision is free from SAIL. Overall project costing depends on the number
of people that require access to the SAIL Gateway, the activities that SAIL
needs to complete (e.g. loading non-standard datasets), data refreshes,
analytical work required, disclosure control process, and special case
technological requirements.
