Quite plainly not true, there are occasions, probably even all occasion when a pursuit can be elevated to a higher priority and then the response time drops to 20 min.

The world is full of too many people who will crow if NPAS fails to deliver, sadly we will never know what the alternative to NPAS would have been if Forces had been left to fund their own aircraft. Given the current level of spending cuts in the Police I think we would have seen more 'for sale' signs outside units than there are at present.

The world is also full of people reinventing the wheel.
