No ambulances met most urgent emergency response targets

No ambulance arrived at a life threatening emergency in Northern Ireland within the eight minute or 15 minute target in the whole of 2023, according to the latest official figures.

They showed no Category One 999 call was responded to within the range of new target times.

The targets mean that ambulances must respond to category one calls within eight minutes on average and should attend 90% of category one calls within 15 minutes.

The figures also showed the number of people waiting more than 12 hours in emergency departments jumped significantly.

There were about 45,000 patients waiting for more than 12 hours in 2019, with that number rising to more than 120,000 in 2023.
