Wes Streeting Urged to Ditch Bid to Electrify all UK Ambulances
작성일작성일: 2025-06-04 01:04
Health Secretary Wes Streeting faced calls last night to ditch the 'absurd' Net Zero strategy to amaze all UK ambulances within 15 years.
The cash-strapped NHS is preparing to abandon all its diesel ambulances and set up nearly 5,000 charging points at health centers and ambulance stations to power a fleet of electric-powered automobiles.
Health chiefs have actually refused to expose just how much the brand-new ambulances will cost, but official figures seen by the Mail on Sunday expose it will cost ₤ 100million just to update the grid and electrical infrastructure required for charging points.
The MoS can likewise reveal there are presently simply 2 electric-powered ambulances picking up travelers in England - compared to more than 4,500 diesel ambulances.
There are 160 other electric emergency automobiles for paramedics, consisting of two cars and trucks, 16 response vans and three motorcycles.
The current electric ambulances have a range of as much as 200 miles, however paramedic teams in often take a trip further in a shift.
Latest figures reveal the average action time in England for the most deadly 'category-one' ambulance calls is 7 minutes and 52 seconds - compared to an NHS target of seven minutes.
Last night Nick Timothy MP, previous chief of personnel to ex-prime minister Theresa May, said: 'Ambulance services have been having a hard time to satisfy their reaction targets. With these obstacles it is ridiculous to distract NHS workers from their tasks with unrealistic Net Zero targets.
