When the hon. Gentleman asks a question, he should be better informed. Since the establishment of the NHS trust in Northumbria, four new accident and emergency vehicles have been introduced into the service, response times for the ambulance service have improved, standby services in Northumbria have been increased so that there is 24-hour manning on the A1 route to Scotland, there is now one paramedic per vehicle, and the Northumbria ambulance service has been approved by the British Standards Institution under the BS 5750 scheme.
