Highlights We model the determinants of ambulance running costs in Norway. We find that demographic factors are importing drivers of demand. Accessibility patterns are the key driver of running costs. Population ageing will act to increase demand and costs. Continuing urbanisation will act to reduce costs of running ambulance services.

    Abstract The aim of this paper is to study how regional demography and accessibility patterns influence the cost of providing ambulance services. A secondary aim is to project future costs and demand for ambulance services based on population projections. We use data from south-east Norway, an area with both urban and rural areas. Our results show that accessibility patterns, urbanisation and demography are important factors in determining costs. Furthermore, an ageing population and an ongoing process of urbanisation will have an impact on both the demand for ambulance transport and the cost of providing these services.
