Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Pat Healy:
That was a specific thing in the Dublin area. We got the consultation and engagement part of that wrong. We put our hands up and said that is going to be corrected. We are in conciliation over that. That was a relatively small issue around a pilot initiative that was planned for Dublin.
The more fundamental thing is the broader intermediate care service and full-time employees. We are committed to the continuation and expansion of that. There is also, in that space, private provision, procured appropriately by the hospitals. We are going to bring the totality of that in under national services and NAS to move to centralise that in a more significant way.
