There is no differentiation when a person arrives in an ambulance. What happens after that is the issue. I gave an example on a previous occasion when the HSE was before the committee of a female patient who was pestered for 24 hours to the point where a medic had to be called for a blood pressure issue because of the pressure put on her to sign a form she did not wish to sign. Is Mr. Breslin assuring the committee that such practices no longer occur?
