Ambulance response times, teacher pay and Irish pubs
How long are people really waiting when they call 999 for an ambulance? Tim Harford and the team examine in detail the sheer scale of delays in responding to emergency calls. We also ask why the NHS is facing a crisis when it\u2019s got more funding and more staff than before the pandemic, with the help of Ben Zaranko from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Plus we fact check a claim from one of Britain\u2019s leading teaching unions about pay. And are there more pubs in Ireland or Irish pubs in the rest of the world?
