The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of changes in call categorisation thresholds in the East of England since 2023.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department is unaware of any national or local changes to guidance on call categorisation thresholds made since 2023, and has therefore made no assessment.
