Ceisteanna (394)

Pat Buckley

Ceist:

394. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the problem being caused to ambulance services due to the current inability of emergency medical technicians, EMTs, to use their experience and training to determine the seriousness of call-outs to their services and judge, on a case-by-case basis, if the use of an ambulance is appropriate, resulting in patients who do not require an ambulance taking up resources; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15350/17]

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