Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not have the details of the case to which Deputy Martin Kenny refers. When there is an issue with regard to an ambulance, a detailed response is always given in terms of ambulance availability on the day of the incident in question. We are building primary care centres throughout the country so that patients whose cases are not so serious can be dealt with at those centres without the need to go to hospital at all. I regret that a doctor had to put a child in the back of his or her car and bring the child to a primary care centre or to the local hospital. I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to respond to Deputy Martin Kenny directly.
