1. Please can you provide information about how you monitor mobilisation of frontline RRVs and ambulance crews across your trust. 

By mobilisation I mean the time taken for a crew to 'go mobile' after been given/passed a call by HEOC.

Response – This is not currently actively monitored on a regular basis. Times are recorded within our CAD system which detail time data sent to vehicle, time crew accepted, and time mobile. A review of Service-wide performance is held every morning and any issues in delayed mobilisation are identified here and passed on for further investigation. These would usually come from a missed Red 1 or Red 2 call (8 minute response) and part of the review would involve analysing mobilisation time.

2. Please can you also provide the mobilisation average for the past 12 months, including (if possible) charts showing the full data range by month if possible. 

Response – This data is not recorded within our CAD.

3. Please can you also provide details of exactly how crews (singletons/rrvs or double manned ambulances) go mobile, ie is this via personal radio button activation, via going mobile on the vehicle MDT, verbally by acknowledging the message from HEOC on personal radio, or verbally on vehicle radio, automatically when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, or by another method (please state method).

Response – Data in relation to the call (address, age & sex of patient etc, and nature of call) are gathered by the call taker and passed via our CAD to an MDT within the cab of each vehicle. Crews are then mobilised via radio contact (personal radio if away from vehicle, or vehicle radio if in it). The crew then accept the call by pressing a button on the MDT screen and then confirm their mobile time in the same way. On scene time is re3corded via an auto-attend system and by the crew pressing an on-scene button.

4. Please can you also confirm if any exemptions are allowed, what they are and if these exemptions are removed from the data averages, or not included in the mobilisation figures, for example, an exemption might be a delay due to essential restocking or when using facilities etc.

5. Please can you also confirm if you report your mobilisation to any external agencies and if you have any plans to change mobilisation standards, reporting or procedures.
