Mr. Barry O'Brien:

To the best of my knowledge, there is nobody outside the ambulance service other than perhaps the chief medical ambulance officer, and there is only one such officer in the country, to whom we provide any sort of fleet support. In certain grades ambulance managers have made themselves available, because of the integrated methodology of 999 calls, to respond, irrespective of the location they are in when off duty, to a 999 call. From the point of view of transporting people to and from work, we do not provide any such transport.
