London Ambulance Service Letter to Mayor

Following a visit by the London Assembly Health Committee to the London Ambulance Service Dockside Education Centre and Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) Newham on 24 January 2023, the Committee has written to the Mayor of London with three recommendations on how the Mayor can support the London Ambulance Service.

Recommendations within the letter include:

• The Mayor should work with LAS, NHS London and the five Integrated care systems (ICSs) to explore options for a more simplified London-wide governance structure for LAS.
• The Mayor should explore opening up the GLA Green Bond Programme to organisations such as LAS to allow for retrofitting of their estate.
• The Mayor should work with LAS on public awareness campaigns to educate Londoners on correct usage of the 999 emergency service.
