Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Robert Morton:
On call was abolished. I cannot remember how long ago. I will need to check that for the Senator, but I think it was at least ten years ago. On-call arrangements were abolished in Donegal and replaced with a 24-hour on-duty system. There was only ever one crew on duty around the clock. That is all there has ever been for as long as I can remember in Donegal.
