Emergency ambulance services in the greater Dublin area are provided by both the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Dublin City Council through Dublin Fire Brigade. The HSE has advised that the review of Command and Control arrangements, referred to by the Deputy, has been undertaken by a group comprising of representatives from the HSE and Dublin City Council. My Department is advised that the report of the Review Group is at an advanced stage and will be completed shortly. The HSE has advised that the Review Group met with the various staff representations on several occasions in the course of its work. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the HSE to have a more detailed reply issued directly to the Deputy on this matter.
