I would like the HSE to comment on the national ambulance strategy and what outcomes it is likely to achieve for the service. I also wish to ask about the extent of ambulance hold-ups at hospitals. In the Dublin area, for example, some hospitals are more problematic than others but why is that the case? Which are the worst hospitals and which are the best? Why are ambulances being held up in some hospitals to the extent that they are? What efforts are being made to ensure that ambulances and their crews are not wasting their time for hours on end in Dublin and elsewhere in the country?
