179. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the national ambulance service provided individual hospital turnaround times earlier this year, but is now refusing to provide any figure other than a national figure for all hospitals; his views that this is in the interests of patients; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

180. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the national ambulance service provided ambulance response times for each of the nine sub regions earlier this year, but is now refusing to provide any figure other than a super-regional figure; his views that this is in the interests of patients; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 179 and 180 together.
As these are service matters, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
