Firstly I would like to express my sympathy to the family of the person concerned.

The National Ambulance Service has reviewed this incident and I am informed that the nearest available ambulance was tasked to the scene and that there were no care deviations in the ambulance control and dispatch process. The HSE has been asked to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the detailed information requested.
