Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion

Mr. Dennis Keeley:

The service has standards for the severity of the call, as the Deputy indicated. If there is nothing available in the NAS or no ambulance in the DFB, depending on the severity, our call-taker can decide to send a fire appliance or a fire engine as a follow-up to that. Other than that, the case goes on a queue.
