Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Increased resources are being provided in this area. In my area there is a new air ambulance service which is a community initiative and looking for the support of the HSE. There are multiple initiatives in different parts of the country, particularly in areas where people suffer from rural isolation, where response times are not as good as they need to be. On the precise increase in funding and so on, I can ask the Minister to come back with the facts.
