Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion
Mr. Robert Morton:
The key issue around capacity generally is that demand rises faster in a large urban area like Dublin. On the east coast, for example, demand for ambulance services traditionally, pre-Covid-19, was rising at 4% per year, whereas it was 3% per year on the west coast. Fundamentally, this is the fallout from a lack of investment over many years.
