Ambulance response times in Flintshire missed their target of 65% again in August figures from the Welsh Government reveal.

The 8 minute target time has been set for category A calls, those deemed to be immediately life-threatening, requiring an emergency response by a fully equipped ambulance, a rapid response vehicle crewed with a paramedic equipped to provide treatment at the scene.

August saw 56.5% –  333 of the 590 category A call outs arrive at the scene within the 8 minutes target period.

There were 26 less category A call outs in August than July.

This is below the target of 65% which has not been met since April last year.

Nationally 17 of the 22 counties missed the 65% target in August with the average time across the whole of Wales standing at 61.8% 

Neighbouring Denbighshire and Wrexham both achieved the target.
