Publication Notice
In April 2024, the Welsh Ambulance Service University NHS Trust implemented a new 111 system for call handing and clinical assessment. The data and reporting for this system has been developed at pace, and some metrics are still being finalised and awaiting sign-off. An issue has also been identified when aggregating 111 call records to Health Board level to support the AQI reporting. This issue is being actively worked on, with mitigations already in place, however, until full validation and sign-off of the October 2024 data has taken place, any AQIs which utilise 111 records in their calculation are currently not available in this publication.
The AQI's affected are: (AQIs: 4ii, 9i, 9ii, 9iii, 9iv, 10i and 10ii) which includes Hear and Treat

Accessing Data: For a deeper dive into the data, you can export the Wales-level dataset or the Health Board dataset. We've also provided metadata and indicator descriptors for your reference.
