Documentation
Description:
The Ambulance Fleet data collection is an annual data collection on emergency and non-emergency fleet vehicles. The primary purpose is for national oversight of ambulance fleet, to support ambulance fleet policy development and improvement and provide benchmarking data through Ambulance Improvement analytical products. The data is crucial to maintain an oversight of the age and mileage profile of the NHS emergency response fleet. The collection also supports better modelling of the NHS Carbon footprint, better targeting of funds for capital projects, supports financial analysis of planning for Greener NHS net zero vehicle targets, acts as an evidence base to support funding commitments and enables benchmarking between providers. It also provides an overview of the composition of the overall NHS fleet, which supports the delivery of action set out in other statutory guidance, including Green Plan Guidance and Net Zero Travel and Transport Strategy.
