3:17Now PlayingAverage ambulance response times in England last month were the longest on record - as more than half of people at major A&Es had to wait longer than four hours for the first time since records began in 2011.
New figures show the average response time in December for ambulances in England dealing with the most urgent incidents - defined as calls from people with life-threatening illnesses or injuries - was 10 minutes and 57 seconds.
This is the longest on record and compares to the target standard response time for urgent incidents of seven minutes.
