Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Ambulance Services: Discussion
Mr. Ted Kenny:
Those engagements take place daily in all acute settings in the country on foot of our membership in the National Ambulance Service having raised concerns about the waiting times that have developed. I might get a call tomorrow morning to say that paramedics were delayed by five or six hours in University Hospital Kerry. If so, that would be addressed the following morning by ambulance management and hospital management to make sure the problem is alleviated. There is no national approach, however, which is a pity.
