Northamptonshire's ambulance and A&E wait times have severely worsened, with most patients waiting over 30 minutes.

Ambulance response and A&E wait times in Northamptonshire are at their worst levels, with only 47% of ambulance handovers completed within 30 minutes in October, down from 65% last year. Over 75% of patients waited over 30 minutes to be transferred to A&E, and average ambulance response times reached 75 minutes, well above the national 18-minute target. Overcrowding and small A&E departments are cited as contributing factors.
