It is quite a shocking figure, for someone who lives in the south east. It is more shocking when considering that it includes cardiac services. In County Waterford, my constituency, there is no 24-7 service for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, PPCI, as Mr. Morton will be apparent. People in counties Tipperary and Waterford and other parts of the south east have to travel by ambulance to Dublin or Cork if they have a life-threatening cardiac issue, yet the average response time for emergency calls is now 33 minutes.
