Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Ambulance Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Pat Healy:

These are the issues being looked at in the first instance of the review process. I mentioned in my opening statement that we will have to address the issue of the air medical services and critical care in its totality. We have been to Scotland and have looked at the good work the Scottish services have done and there may be transferable learning skills from there. That is going to be a process. The first step is the trauma-type patients we are going to deal with and after that we look at the whole.
