Diolch, Llywydd. Six months on from the publication of the amber review, I am pleased to update Members on implementation of the review’s recommendations.

The review made nine recommendations and identified a number of areas where further work was required in order to gain an improved understanding of the challenges and opportunities to improve responses to calls in the amber category. In order to ensure there is purpose and pace in delivering the review’s recommendations, the chief ambulance services commissioner has established a year-long amber review implementation programme. This is supported by a programme board, including representation from the national collaborative commissioning unit, the Welsh ambulance service, the NHS Wales Informatics Service and the Welsh Government. The programme board will manage and monitor implementation of the review’s recommendations.
