To follow on from Deputy Kerrane's questions about Roscommon, I looked at the response times nationally and, as regards the purple life-threatening cardio and respiratory arrest response, 75% of such calls were within 18 minutes, and there is a target of 45% for the reds, but it appears that there may be variation nationally. Are there figures for the Roscommon, Galway and west-north west areas in terms of response times? How do they vary from the national average?
