The National Ambulance Service (NAS) provides a Critical Care Retrieval Service (CCRS) between hospitals for children aged between 4 weeks and 16 years through the Irish Paediatric Acute Transport Service, as well as for infants aged under 6 weeks through its National Neonatal Transport Programme.
As the Deputy may be asking about the transportation of individuals to pre-arranged out-patient hospital appointments to and from the patient's residence, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to her directly with any pertinent information it may have.
