I thank all hon. Members for their contributions to this important debate. The examples that they raised highlight the urgent need to improve ambulance response times. It is just unacceptable that people cannot trust that when they need an ambulance, one will arrive. That is not fair on patients or on the incredible ambulance staff who dedicate themselves to saving lives.

I urge the Government to listen to the Liberal Democrats’ calls to publish localised ambulance data, reduce hospital bed occupancy rates to 85% by increasing the number of staffed beds, and introduce a new winter taskforce that would manage a ringfenced fund of £1.5 billion to build resilience in the system. Those changes would lead to improvements that cannot come soon enough.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House
has considered ambulance service response times.

Sitting adjourned.
