Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of ambulance services in the Cavan, Monaghan, Meath and Louth areas is the responsibility of the North-Eastern Health Board. Therefore, my Department has asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
