The HSE has now published the Capacity Review. While the overall funding requirement remains to be quantified, it is clear that a very significant programme of investment in our ambulance services is required. In that context, a phased investment in a multi annual programme involving manpower, vehicles and technology is required. The Deputy may wish to note that the Programme for Government commits to additional annual investment in terms of ambulance personnel and vehicles.
