Ms Laverne McGuinness:

Deputy Sandra McLellan also referred to the capacity review and the staff it had identified as additional resources. This matter will be considered when the capacity review becomes available in full and we know what are the requirements for future services. The review which will be completed at the end of December will take a wider view of what resources are required and where they will be needed. We will consider its findings when they become available.

Some of Deputy Ciara Conway's questions on the fleet and care standards have been answered. HIQA and the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council set standards. Dr. O'Donnell may wish to speak about standards of care.
