Two Lincolnshire regions appear in the worst 15 areas for responses to the highest priority calls. The target is seven minutes. | Date: Liberal Democrats/FOI

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Daisy Cooper said: “These heart-breaking figures show that in every corner of the country, targets are being missed and patients are being left waiting far too long for an ambulance to arrive.
