Ms Laverne McGuinness:

It would be historic. They are done on percentages and trajectories. The new protocol is being finalised by Dr. Cathal O'Donnell. We will be moving to put that in place so we can see which hospitals are red, amber and green, what action needs to be taken at hospital and ambulance level and what needs to happen as a result of that. That is under way.

Deputy Nash had a question on paramedics and the emergency medical technical staff. I was going to deal with the ceiling at the same time. The question was whether the 43 staff are going to be paramedic staff or in the control room. Those 43 are for the control room but 20 new staff are coming into place and are undergoing a training programme in April.
