I don't actually think there is much to argue about re journey times by ambulance. As you say, with blues and twos, most hospitals in London should be accessible in half an hour.

The more pertinent point is whether the destination hospital will be able to treat you when you get there. It seems that Bruce Keogh actually raised this concern in his report to the health minister. It is this that has probably led to the political fudge of downgrading the A&E to a category not recognised by the NHS.

Journey times without an ambulance, for instance in maternity cases, are more troublesome I think. My own daughter was meant to be born at King's but was rushed via ambulance to QE Woolwich to be delivered there. That was not a problem for the ambulance - I on the other hand, even with unofficial police escort, didn't make it to the hospital in time for the birth owing to bank holiday traffic. I did explain this in a letter to Jeremy Hunt but I don't think he is listening.
