Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Martin Conway (Fine Gael)
A number of cases have been brought to my attention. I will be examining them further and submitting freedom of information requests to establish what is happening because it is extremely concerning. I have a question about something that really annoys me. It is not the witnesses' fault but do they have data on bogus calls for ambulances? What are the statistics on people acting the goat and calling for ambulances when they are not necessary? How much ambulance service time is wasted dealing with bogus call? Have the witness any statistics they can share with us?
