I am happy to advise the Deputy that in recent weeks I have approved a funding proposal for the augmentation of National Ambulance Service (NAS) resources in Connemara in 2021, in line with a demand analysis undertaken by the NAS.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
