  "StatsWales began this series in July 2025, with purple calls beside red. Its red calls before then, with an 8-minute measure this series does not have, are a separate dataset that ends in June 2025, so the two are not joined here.",
  "StatsWales gives each time as hours, minutes and seconds; the hub shows them in seconds, exactly. England's ambulance times are NHS England's means, not medians, so the two are not comparable."
