Inter-hospital air ambulance transport services are currently provided by the Air Corps on a request and availability basis. In this regard, a Service Level Agreement is in place between the Department of Defence, the Department of Health and Children, the Health Service Executive, the Defence Forces and the Air Corps for the provision of air ambulance services. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Health Service Executive to arrange to have the specific service matter raised by the Deputy investigated and to have a reply issued directly to him.
