Extra ambulance stationed in Harwich after campaign by town councillors. Inset: Pam Morrison. AN additional ambulance will be stationed in Dovercourt following a campaign by concerned councillors. Last year it was revealed that only 15 per cent of ambulances responding to level two emergencies, such as strokes and major burns, arrived within 18 minutes. The results of a Freedom of Information request showed the average response time in the Harwich peninsular was more than double the expected arrival time. An ambulance should be with the patient within 18 minutes of the 999 call being made according to the NHS. The FOI disclosed the average response time in Harwich between November 2019 and January last year was more than 40 minutes.
