“The National Health Service has confirmed in response to a freedom of information request that ambulance call-outs relating to immediate care required for a debilitating condition affecting the heart nearly doubled in the whole of 2021 and are still on the rise further in 2022. But the most concerning published figures show that they have also doubled among people under the age of 30,” The Expose reported.

The outlet reported that Duncan Husband sent a Freedom of Information (FOI) request on April 24th, 2022 to the West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation trust requesting to know the following:
- The amount of call outs for patients with heart conditions per year, between 1st January 2017 and present day?
- The amount of call outs for patients with strokes per year, between 1st January 2017 and present day?
- If possible, can you also give me the total number of the above patients who were under 30.
- Can you give me the monthly stats for each year please?
The NHS responded on the 18th May with a spreadsheet containing the requested information.
The Expose explained further:

The following chart visualised the data in the table above –

The following chart visualised the data in the table above –
As we can see from the above two charts, ambulance call-ours for high conditions have been higher overall since January 2021, and have been increasing month on month. It was not until April 2021 that we saw a significant increase among people under the age of 30 though, and it again has increased month on month since then.
