Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Ambulance Services: Discussion
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Kenny mentioned the working groups. There are two main issues, one of which is the capacity review. There have been a number of capacity reviews in recent times, including a capacity versus analysis review which commenced in July on which we will engage with the National Ambulance Service and the HSE later. The capacity review has to look at increasing the staff complement, increasing the fleet and so on. If I am correct, the working groups will focus on the terms and conditions of employment and some of the other issues raised by Mr. Kenny.
Am I right in saying there is a number of them? There is one on the late finish, one on meal breaks, one on rules of engagement and one on emergency deployment points. Are they the four working groups that are in play?
