Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Pat Healy:
Our priority, as I have said, was increasing capacity and the number of places. In that context, the priority was Cork, and getting the geography across the country as well. That was the most immediate priority. We do need expansion and will be required to expand. If we are going to expand capacity in the way I was talking about, we will also need to improve and expand the facilities in the different locations, and we will have to deal with that through our three- to five-year plan.
