Mr. Martin Dunne:

It would not be the intention of the ambulance service to frustrate anyone in respect of freedom of information requests. I am not 100% sure to which request the Deputy is referring. However, I must inform him that we are obliged to uphold confidentiality not only in respect of the people to whom he may be referring directly but also in the context of ambulance staff and some of those who are stationed in control centres. Some of the black lines to which the Deputy refers are instances where we are obliged to redact certain information.
