Michael Lowry
Question:1176. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Health the reason the fire brigade is not called to assist in the case of cardiac arrest where an ambulance is not available; his views on whether this would be a prudent measure in view of the frequency of cardiac arrests and the need for swift action in these cases; if he will examine the possibility of creating a call system for the fire brigade when the ambulance is not available; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
