On foot of a proposal by the Irish Coast Guard (ICG) in relation to the provision of limited aeromedical support to land ambulance services, I have asked the HSE to work with the ICG to develop a pilot arrangement in this regard. The existing air ambulance service provided by the Air Corps will not be affected.

I have arranged for the Deputy's question to be forwarded to the HSE with a request that the Executive provide him with further details in the matter.
