Mr. Ted Kenny:

At the end of the day, all stakeholders should be involved in those discussions. Various ambulance officers at ambulance bases attached to or in the area of acute hospitals with accident and emergency departments would liaise with managers in the hospitals when there are delays. In Kerry, where I am based, I have spoke to the general manager of the hospital more than once about ambulance waiting times outside the accident and emergency department to see what can be done. It is a challenging problem.
