Health Service Executive Service Plan 2013: Discussion with HSE
10:40 am
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
Such a vehicle looks like an ambulance but it is not a first responder ambulance. It would be a slightly larger ambulance vehicle which can take two patients and which is attended by paramedics but not advanced paramedics. It is not a first responder type of vehicle but it is able to provide a good standard of care as patients move between hospital settings.
