Baroness Tonge

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many patients were visited by emergency care practitioners instead of ambulance crews over the last 36 months; and [HL1786]

Whether they will provide a breakdown in figures for the outcomes for patients visited by emergency care practitioners in the place of ambulance crews. [HL1787]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health
(Lord Darzi of Denham)

The information is not collected centrally. It is a matter for individual ambulance trusts as to whether and how they employ emergency care practitioners.
