Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Robert Morton:

We would agree with any change. We did not advocate for them specifically in isolation but we have regular conversations with all the clinical care programmes. The relevant clinical care programme in the context of the situation to which the Senator is referring is the national acute medicine programme. These clinical care programmes continuously review the models of care that are being delivered by the HSE. We regularly engage. Professor O'Donnell and I have meetings with some of the various programmes every six weeks or so and we regularly explore opportunities for innovation. We have regular dialogue. I will ask Professor O'Donnell to address the specifics of the pathways to which the Senator is referring.
