It seems that the 2017/18 NPAS Annual Report was published back in December, although there is no sign of it here:

However, it does appear here over on PANews:

One thing that stands out, or not, is a total lack of the words "fixed wing". Absolutely no mention at all. None whatsoever. Nada. Nil.
As usual they make a big thing of their Performance data quoting achieving response times for Priority 1 tasks(on scene within 20mins of lifting) of 96-98% where the target is 85%. However, things aren't all they seem. In 2017/18 they completed 22,410 actioned calls(where they respond to a request and arrive on scene before the request is cancelled) for service and over 16,000 flying hours(although they told me 14,200 back in October).
In 2016/17, they completed 26,856 actioned calls, so a drop of 4446, or 16%, with 18,000 hours, so the downward spiral continues. A quote from January's PANews says; "Unfortunately the customers believe they are getting a vastly inferior service."

A bit of an understatement, I think, considering that all Police Forces paid NPAS
exactly the same for 2017/18 as they did for 2016/17.
