My Department has been informed that the National Ambulance Service (NAS) has accepted the findings of the Rights Commissioner in relation to this case. The NAS is now working towards meeting and delivering the recommendations as outlined in the determination. The payment of compensation has been forwarded for processing and the Service shall be engaging with the staff member to discuss the process for implementing the findings.

The NAS has noted that there has been some practical challenges due to the nature of the specific service but has confirmed that they are committed to working through these.
