View answerApproval to proceed with the process for the appointment of a Director of the Pre-Hospital Emergency Council (PHECC) was conveyed to PHECC in December 2014. Section 27 (2) of S.I.

In these circumstances, the recruitment process in relation to this position is an operational matter for the Council.
