00:04We needed to get an average of a 30-minute response time for those ambulances arriving
00:11for heart attack and stroke victims. We needed an average of 30 minutes. We came in at 30 minutes
00:20and four seconds. We were breathtakingly close there. On the 12-hour standard, so this is where
00:27we need to reduce the number of patients waiting over 12 hours for admission or discharge from
00:32an A&E department to 10% or less of the time. We missed that by 0.01 percentage points.
00:44So we came in at 10.01, which I have to say, like, and then on the four-hour waits
00:53in A&E,
00:54we needed to do that. So 78% of people admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours in
01:01A&E by the end of March. That needed to come in at 78%. We missed that by 0.9
01:08percentage points.
01:10So all within touching distance. But you know me, Nick, I'm very competitive. And so I'm frustrated
01:19because I wanted to kind of come in ahead. But the fact is, I mean, regardless of all of that,
01:25and I definitely want to give credit to the staff here, we have nonetheless got the best ambulance
01:33response times we've seen in half a decade, waiting lists at the lowest levels in three years,
01:37and the best A&E performance in four. So at least the NHS is finally moving in the right direction.
01:42So
01:43You
