Ceisteanna (488)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn

Ceist:

488. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Health his views on utilising the services of fire fighters, employed full-time or on a part-time retainer, across the State, in their capacity as trained emergency-first responders, as a back-up to the ambulance service, where there is a possibility that the ambulance on call, cannot respond to an emergency, within an acceptable timeframe.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up with them.
