I propose to take Questions Nos. 282 to 284, inclusive, together.

The National Neonatal Transport Programme operates within the Critical Care Retrieval Service which is part of the National Ambulance Service.

As the queries raised by the Deputy relate to a service matter, I have asked the HSE to reply to the Deputy directly.
