Questions (840)

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy

Question:

840. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a recent policy change by the National Ambulance Service whereby in the event of an emergency, the national emergency operations centre issues just one SMS to a single nominee of all relevant community first responder groups in the locality of the emergency; if his attention has been further drawn to the delayed response times of community first responder groups to emergencies due to the change; if his attention has been drawn to the increased administrative burden that the change is imposing on local voluntary groups; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service issue, I have asked the HSE to reply to you directly.
