Grain note: Ambulance / 999 (AQI Systems Indicators / AmbSYS) is per-ambulance-TRUST with an England total — no ICB / region / PCN / practice link, so the England total drives the headlines and the trust grain is surfaced as the ranking and table. Response times are stored in seconds and shown mm:ss. C1 = life-threatening, C2 = emergency, C3 = urgent, C4 = less urgent.
