I believe it is important to ensure that all of our pre-hospital emergency services function as a high quality, integrated health service. The advice of the Health Information and Quality Authority on pre-hospital care issues will be a significant factor in determining how services should be organised so that clinical governance, patient safety and quality standards are met. As the specific question raised by the Deputy is a matter for the HSE, it has been referred to the Executive for direct reply.
