I propose to take Questions Nos. 423 and 467 together.

The Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery and management of healthcare infrastructure. Capital spend on Ambulance bases / facilities is prioritised by the National Ambulance Service to meet the requirements of those bases with highest needs.

The HSE has advised remedial works to the value of approximately €50,000 were carried out at Carlow ambulance base located in Carlow town at the Carlow Health Services Complex, Athy Road, Carlow (St. Dympna’s Hospital). These works addressed work requirements to make the ambulance base fit for purpose.
