I thank Mr. Kenny for his presentation on behalf of SIPTU and I welcome him and all SIPTU members who have joined us today. I have good reason to thank the members of the National Ambulance Service in that on two occasions this year my uncle received wonderful treatment from paramedics and hospital staff. He is in a nursing home now, having suffered two strokes this year.

On the operating model, as part of a delegation from the constituency a number of years ago I visited the centre in Tallaght. There are some complaints in regard to ambulances being brought from one county into another. Is that process operating correctly or is there need for change in terms of improving efficiency of delivery of ambulances?
