Notes
- Calls answered within 60 seconds as a share of all calls answered, and the calls received, as NHS 111 and integrated urgent care services report them to NHS England, from its key facts for England.
- NHS England leaves out of each share any contract area that did not give both its parts. The provisional figures it publishes for the latest month are not shown.
