What is the position with the review of the ambulance service that was promised in November? I highlighted that the training of paramedics and advanced paramedics is quite specialised. Why does the HSE expect paramedics to perform clerical duties and run budgets? I asked at the time for the separation of specialist work and administration duties, as has been done in the Garda. From what I have seen, there are more managers than there are drivers. When will we finally hold the HSE to account so we can have the paramedics and the ambulance service running an efficient service for people who need it and stop repeatedly installing managers and giving them cars when we need ambulances and paramedics?
