Mr. Pat Healy:

The first thing we have done is that this year we have put 12 additional paramedics into the Dublin south-east area. We have put in additional staff into other areas as well. This year, 180 staff are being deployed as part of our developments. I have given the figures in relation to the improvements, namely a 28% increase and a 41% increase in terms of numbers and funding. More needs to be done, of course, and we will do more.
