Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On Thursday, 9 February I raised concerns with the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, about the reduction in the ambulance service in east Cork and Midleton. He assured me that he would come back to me on the matter. As of last Monday, the ambulance service has been removed from Midleton. This raises major concerns in east Cork. This ambulance covers over 50,000 people and nothing has been done. Now we are being served by a rapid response vehicle. I am not getting answers from the National Ambulance Service or the HSE. Will the Taoiseach support the people to whom I refer?
