206 Ms McManus asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the position in relation to the ambulance control centre in Townsend Street, Dublin; when the report into this situation will be published; her plans to end the duplication of services between the Health Board and the DFB staff; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerPre-hospital emergency care services in the greater Dublin area are provided by both the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Dublin City Council through Dublin Fire Brigade. The HSE has advised that the review of Command and Control arrangements, referred to by the Deputy, is being undertaken by representatives from the Executive and Dublin City Council. The Executive has advised that the review is in the process of being finalised. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy on this matter.
