Minister for Health

The HSE has informed me that the National Ambulance Service engages with the Dublin Fire Brigade and the Irish Coast Guard on a regular basis to discuss operational matters and ensure optimum coordination and communication among all agencies. I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy with any additional relevant information.
