You cannot appraise the efficiency of the LAS or any other ambulance service without looking at the whole process of urgent care and the configuration of acute centres. The process of centralising A&E and related services into larger and better provided units implies larger patient/ambulance miles and therefore more ambulance resources. Demand management is important but not the only consideration in setting an efficient service for emergency services.
