Mr. Robert Morton:
The whole HSE - obviously, not just the National Ambulance Service - will spend just shy of €10 million, there or thereabouts, on private ambulance services. That is across all the hospital groups. That is basically where hospitals contract private ambulance companies to do inter-facility transfer. The figure is somewhere between €9 million and €10 million per annum.
