Welsh Assembly Health Secretary Vaughan Gething has agreed funding of £4.48 million for a new computer dispatch system for ambulances in Wales.
This funding will enable the Welsh Ambulance Service to replace their existing computer aided dispatch system with a modern, state-of-the-art system, which will further improve ambulance response times.
The new system will ensure faster response times to the highest priority, immediately life threatening calls – as well as improving efficiency in the identification and dispatch of the most appropriate resource.
There will also be improved co-ordination of large-scale events, major incidents and capacity management across NHS Wales.
Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said:
“In Wales, we have seen real improvements in ambulance response times –
it’s an area where we are leading the way in the UK.
“The new and improved dispatch system will help the Welsh Ambulance Service to continue to improve and to provide a service that is fit for the future – it will enable the Trust to provide partners with high-quality and timely information and work together to improve and shape services; it will enable WAST to better monitor performance and focus improvements.”
