View answerA new five-year NAS strategic plan is currently being finalised by the HSE. This plan will facilitate a strategic organisational re-design and continued focus on key priorities including alternative care pathways, specialist paramedic roles, and progress towards meeting capacity requirements and performance targets. It is being informed in part by an independently conducted NAS-commissioned National Demand and Capacity Analysis to inform future capacity requirements and workforce planning to 2027. In this regard I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly with any further detail.
