The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004.

Pre-hospital emergency care services in the greater Dublin area are provided by both the executive and Dublin City Council through Dublin Fire Brigade. The executive has advised that the review of command and control arrangements in question is being undertaken by representatives from the executive and Dublin City Council. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Children has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy on this matter.
