Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Robert Morton:

I will ask Professor O'Donnell to comment in a minute but, at a summary level, it is an EMT and a doctor dispatched to clinically appropriate 999 calls with a view to providing the patient with an alternative pathway. We have started a trial in Cork and are working to expand it into Kerry. I ask Professor O’Donnell to talk about the bones of it.
