Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Ambulance Response Times: Discussion

6:30 pm

Mr. Martin Dunne:

I would not know the ins and outs of the entire case. It is not that I do not want to comment. In an overall context, when one is looking at the complete resource complement across the country, we have found that the safest and most reliable way to direct a vehicle to an area is from the back room. The system tracks that vehicle because it poles every 50 yards, so it can tell it to stop or that it has missed a turn and should turn around. That, along with everything else, has been developed. We are in continuous contact with GeoDirectory to make sure we are getting it as right as we can. In fairness, it is giving us a commitment that it is updating that automatically for us as we are moving on.
