The service is preparing for winter after an 'exceptionally busy' summer period, a director says.
An ambulance service has experienced "unprecedented" demand this year, a director said.
Divisional director for Northamptonshire, Mick Jones, said he had "never seen such demand" in his 35 years at the service.The service, which covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland, would usually see a reduction in demand in the summer, but that had not been the case this year, Mr Jones said.
Mr Jones said in the past few weeks there had been a "large improvement" in the time it takes for crews to be released when handing patients over to hospitals.
