In recent weeks, we have had some bad experiences with ambulance response times in the north east. In a response I received from the HSE, it indicated that there would be a review of the position of the ambulance service generally in the transformation programme. In view of the bad experience that there has been, I wonder whether the issue of the review could be accelerated in some way.

Ambulance services are vital. One really needs them in emergency situations. It is unsatisfactory to say the least to have delayed responses.
