Category 1 ambulance calls are those that are classified as life-threatening and needing immediate intervention and/or resuscitation, e.g. cardiac or respiratory arrest. The national standard sets out that all ambulance trusts must respond to Category 1 calls in 7 minutes on average and respond to 90% of Category 1 calls in 15 minutes.

The average Category 1 response time improved from 7 minutes 37 seconds in April 2018 to 6 minutes 54 seconds in May 2018. The 7-minute target was met in March, April and May of this year. However, the average response time worsened in June 2019 to 7 minutes 11 seconds. The 90th centile target is consistently being met, reaching 12 minutes 28 seconds in June 2019.

Grade 1: Emergency response should be within 15 minutes of the call 

Grade 2: Priority response within one hour of the call

(CHALET). Which are Casualties, Hazards, Access, Location, Emergency, Type of incident. The Services that were involved within the Manchester Bombing had different roles and responsibilities. For example, the Police are the first service to be on the scene and they tell the fire and ambulance services where to go. The police can communicate with all the services who are involved within the bombing. The responsibilities the police have, are that they need to evacuate everyone as quickly but safely and calmly they can. The first officer at the scene does not become involved in the rescue work because their role Is to assess the situation and contact with control. Within the police they have different roles such as obtain witness statements, investigate the cause.   The fire have, to make sure they are enter the in the right place to help people get out which comes under responsibility as they have the responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and they keep themselves save, also the fire would have to take care of paramedics if they had to go into the arena. For some roles for the fires there are fight fires, minimise fire risk by removing combustible materials or using foam. Lastly, the Ambulance service have important roles and responsibilities because they must make sure everyone who was in the arena gets checked over for injuries. However, they also must check the fire after they have come out of the arena for signs of injuries.

-The Police force controlled more than one sector these are the firearms officers which are there to protect everyone from risk in case of another terrorist attack. Six-armed response vehicles in case of any threats towards individuals or the force itself. the police force released explosive-sensing search dogs to search for any hidden explosives.

The firefighters should’ve been there, due to the police not passing over information, they couldn’t help as they didn’t have the information. 

The Ambulance service were there for the bombing, there were 12 ambulances with paramedics on the scene as soon as possible and were helping all 120 injured people as well as treating ‘already assumed dead’ people whilst calming other people down from panic. 

Voluntary public services that attended were:

St Johns ambulance had the same priorities and done the same as the Ambulance service, but the St Johns Ambulance didn’t get paid for it as they were volunteers.
