574. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a document that shows that there is a risk to ambulance cover in an area (details supplied) in County Cork; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact the National Ambulance Service intends to replace the only servicing ambulance in this area with a 24-7 rapid response car; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that ambulance services in this area are run on an overtime basis; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that the Health Service Executive's failure to recruit sufficient staff and authorise sufficient overtime has left hundreds of hours uncovered in this area; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is only one ambulance and one first responder paramedic car covering a certain area, the former spending a considerable amount of time on duty covering County Waterford.

I am not aware of the document referred to by the Deputy, I have therefore asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly regarding the issues raised.
