Over the past year, we've made real progress, driving down response times across the region and improving patient care."I am committed to working with our colleagues, partners and patients to address our cultural issues openly and collaboratively, and deliver safe, high-quality care for our patients." The top three in the table were the North West, East Midlands and Yorkshire ambulance services.Mr Carrington, who has worked in the ambulance service for 40 years, said he had noticed a decline in response times. "I'm upset, but not surprised [the trust came last]," he said.He hoped the trust could work with unions to improve.Follow East of England news on X, Instagram and Facebook: BBC Beds, Herts & Bucks, BBC Cambridgeshire, BBC Essex, BBC Norfolk or BBC Suffolk.More like this storyHospital propped up on poles rated worst in countryTwins mark 24 years working in emergency servicesFather reunited with paramedics who saved his lifeRelated internet linksEast of England Ambulance Service NHS TrustPeterboroughEast of England Ambulance ServiceNHSCambridgeshireEssex
