- GURDIP THANDI Local Democracy Reporter

University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Foundation Trust's board members were told they were still behind plans for cutting the amount of time lost for ambulance handovers.

But a report showed there is an ‘improving trend; with latest figures showing the number of 45-minute handover breaches reducing from 4,410 in June to 3,583 in July.

The report said both Queen Elizabeth and Good Hospital had improved average ambulance handover time performance but Heartlands had deteriorated year on year.
