Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion
Johnny Guirke (Meath West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Reid spoke about ambulance services. Where I live in the north of the county, someone could be waiting 90 minutes for an ambulance.
If somebody has a heart attack, people there call the ambulance and the fire service because the latter will come in ten to 15 minutes. That is the kind of service we have in the north of the county.
Will the HSE come back to Members before this is implemented with a date on which it will happen? The Minister has said he is not happy and he needs all these assurances. Will he get such assurances? Will the HSE come back to us with dates for when this will happen, if it does?
